ANSWERS:

1. Geoduck. African Grey Parrots live for only 50-60 years with some cases surpassing that. The longest living African Grey Parrot lived in captivity and lived for 72 years. Whereas the geoduck can live up to 160 years. Geoducks are a type of saltwater clams. Their necks can be up to one meter in length and are a very significant part of the Geoduck. They are the largest burrowing clams in the world.

2. Red sea urchins. Lamellbrachia tube worms are known to live for about 170 years. Red sea urchins can live for more than 200 years. They are found in the Pacific ocean in shallow and rocky areas along the west coast. They move along the ocean floor by using their sharp spine quills as stilts.

3. Bowhead whales. Beluga whales live for 20-70 years. Cases where beluga whales live beyond age 30 are rare though.  Bowhead whales can live for more than 200 years. Bowhead whales are also known as arctic whales.

4. Koi fish. Anglerfish live for only about 30 years in captivity. Koi fish can live for about 200 years in captivity. Koi fish are normally seen as ornamental and are a domesticated form of carp. Koi ponds are very common as a decoration in many places including malls and restaurants. The oldest known Koi was 226.

5. Antarctic sponge. Ocean quahogs are a type of clam that live for about 400 years. Although this may seem like a long time, they are out lived by the antarctic sponge. The antarctic sponge can live for 1,500 years. Antarctic sponges are immobile and have an extremely slow growth rate.

6. Turritopsis Nutricula Jellyfish. Great white sharks can live for over 30 years. Turritopsis Nutricula Jellyfish have no lifespan. These jellyfish have the ability to live forever. It does this by cycling from it's mature adult stage back to it's young immature stage. It can repeat this as much as it wants. Because it cannot die, the numbers of these jellyfish are raising rapidly.


As seen above there are quite a few species that outlive us by a few hundred years. Many of these species will have matured only to see us pollute their waters. There is not much some of these species can do because they are not capable of moving around very much, such as geoducks, red sea urchins, lamellibrachia tube worms, ocean quahogs and antarctic sponges. Just because there is little they can do does not mean they will do nothing, they are the gossipers of the water. They spread word to the jellyfish all over the ocean about the upcoming jellyfish apocalypse. Now you may have already realized that I have yet to mention the beluga and bowhead whales,the great white sharks, the Koi fish and angler fish but I haven't mentioned them because they do not have much of a role in the apocalypse and are instead staying back dreaming of the day their friends are saved from captivity. They do not help the jellyfish because it would make it too suspicious and most humans would realize something is fishy.

Turritopsis Nutricula Jellyfish can live forever. They have seen everything. They have seen humans evolve and destroy their beautiful oceans. Because of this they want revenge. Turritopsis Nutricula Jellyfish are going to take over the world. That is all there is to it. Their population is rapidly growing. These jellyfish ARE the alien invasion that people fear. These people are often viewed as crazy but they have a perfectly fine reason to act crazy. These jellyfish even look like aliens. And who knows if these jellyfish are hostile? We cannot explore too far into the depths of the ocean with our current technology so who knows what is going on down there? They could be accumulating weapons dropped into the ocean by soldiers and cargo ships. They could be far more advanced than we could ever imagine. The scariest part is that we would not even see them coming because they would come from our very own oceans! They could be swimming under our islands and planting bombs as a warning, blaming it on Korea when one accidentally explodes. And sure you might say that jellyfish are innocent based on Jellyfish lake, but these are merely decoys. Most people think nothing of jellyfish but they are planning something bigger than all of us. Something none of us can control. And they will not stop until they have total domination of the world.

Some Picture Examples of Alien Jellyfish spacecraft:

1. Spaceship from Chicken little:


*Note the jellyfish-like structure*
This is the writers, producers and animators trying to subliminally contact their message of a much too possible alien jellyfish attack.

2. Preserved and sold jellyfish:


Many shop vendors sell these as ornamental gifts. What people do not know about them is this is the jellyfish's way of getting into our homes and surveying our ways.

 3. Jellyfish crop circles:



This is one of many attempts of the jellyfish communicating to us to stop polluting the ocean or face the great jellyfish war

4. Finding Nemo

Here we see the writers, producers and animators portraying the jellyfish in their actual form. Showing us all that they are not something to be embraced, they are to be feared.

5. Celebrities too believe in the jellyfish apocalypse

Here we see 2 very famous characters, Buzz Lightyear and Woody discussing the jellyfish apocalypse. You can clearly see Woody is very frightened.

Some people might say a jellyfish apocalypse is highly unlikely because they can't get to land. However; what most people don't know is that jellyfish can actually fly. Jellyfish seem to just glide through the water which really is like air to them. They have had years and years to evolve so that they can perfect their flying ways. For those of you who are still non-believers visit this website: 


If you did not click on the link I will sum up what it says. It explains that there's a species of transparent jellyfish that already fly around our air. These jellyfish have the ability to, much like chameleons, take to the colors of their surroundings, appearing almost invisible. Many pilots have reported seeing odd, jellyfish shaped objects in the sky. And dead birds have been reported found with burn marks on them, most likely caused from the tentacles of these jellyfish. 
If you're wondering "well then why don't these jellyfish sting humans?" then here is a little more information for you. Since these jellyfish are planning to take over the world, they do not want to give up their positions too early. They want to time it just right so they can be almost guaranteed to successfully take over planet Earth. And if us, the inhabitants of Earth, refuse, they will have enough nuclear weapons to threaten us with another war which they would win as most of our planet is made up of bodies of water which is their territory, their life, their land. 

BEWARE THE JELLYFISH. 
SWIM SAFELY
