Yeah. The blue button jellyfish as we encounter it in nature looks like a jellyfish. In fact, it is not even a single organism. It is rather a colony of many polyps which take on specific functions in the colony, in effect acting like “tissues” within “organs” within “a body.”
The camel’s were from an experiment to raise them as pack animals for U S Cavalry units in the Sonoran desert.
The project was abandoned due to the onset of the Civil war. And although the original herd of 66 animals was not enough for a viable Gene pool, some of the descendants managed to survive into the early 20th century
“… not a real jellyfish”. And also today I saw an ad that said we are all BBQ our steak wrong. I was looking for “drop dead gorgeous” actresses from the 80’s.
The 19th century feral camels may have died out in the USA, but a similar set of now feral camels imported into 19th C Australia multiplied like crazy and are now a pest – “Believe it or not!”

The feral Çamels died out and gave way to filtered Camels. Now everyone only has to walk a mile for the filtered ones. Right Joe?
