A Jellyfish Explosion | Alaska's Deadliest

A massive swarm prepares to invade these Alaskan waters. Grouping together in the thousands, moon jellies arrive. A giant lion's mane jellyfish joins them. They're here at the perfect time, when the temperature and currents are just right for the explosion of salmon eggs. They're an unstoppable flotilla of hungry, gelatinous predators. Stinging tentacles force toxins into their prey, rendering it helpless. The tentacles trap the eggs and move it toward their mouths at the center of their bell. The eggs that survive the onslaught grow into miniature versions of their parents and spill out into the deep blue, where some of Alaska's largest ocean creatures hunt.
