Introducing the coolest relative of a jellyfish, the By-the-wind Sailor (Velella velella). The deep blue body of the creature rests on the top of the ocean with its tentacles hanging down below to catch its plankton prey. On top is the Sailor’s characteristic stiff sail which behaves much the way a sail of the ship does.
