Why Gooey Creatures Might Outlast Us All

The video discusses the resilience of gelatinous animals like jellyfish during extinction events. These creatures, composed mostly of water, can survive low oxygen levels, high acidity, and food scarcity. Their unique adaptations, such as absorbing oxygen directly from water and having low carbon needs, have allowed them to endure past and present environmental challenges. As current human activities lead to biodiversity loss and ocean changes, gelatinous animals may continue to thrive.
