    … I’m curious about their vanishing anus.

    both how is that relevant to the invasive species thing, and how that works? like, is it just hard to find? or does the jellyfish actually somehow not have an anus for a time?

      Having a vanishing anus gives them an advantage over native creatures. Predators don’t go after it because they’re like “that thing doesn’t even have an anus”

      To quote the jellyfish “all I do is kick ass and form anus-es… and I’m all out of anus-es”

      It’s very intimidating
