Speaking of the Vietnamese wiki pages- LOOK AT THIS!! LOOK AT THIS???

It’s a clusterfunk of a page.

It’s titled “Con sua” (the general word for jellyfish), but the page seems to talk specifically about Scyphozoa? But the orders (That’s what I think “Cac bo” is referring to) are... intelligible.

There are 3 extant orders in Scyphozoa as of late, that being orders Coronatae, Semaeostomeae, and Rhizostomeae. Order Rhizostomeae, despite being widely eaten and somewhat popular around East and Southeastern Asia, is absent from here. Two mysterious orders I haven’t even heard about are here as well, for some reason???

Anyways, searching them up on the English google didn’t get me anything exactly, but these seem to coincide with extinct fossil groups that have been speculated to be in class Scyphozoa at some point... (the wiki itself tells me this as well with some bits that I put through a translator lol)

#mun rambles #jellyfish #this is why i often say to look through wikis of different languages #there is so much neat information you can learn hahaaa #also fun fact in don't starve: wickerbottom refers to the jellyfish as Medusozoans #which is funny because Medusozoa encompases Classes Hydrozoa Scyphozoa and Cubozoa #and staurozoa i think #most experts could probably tell a rhizostomid jelly from a scyphozoan jelly i think #idk it's just interesting that she decided to go broad instead of specific #i suppose there really isn't any real-world equivalent for a rainbow rhizostomid jellyfish #though apparently the lizard-tail jelly is a bit rainbow like... hmm #haha #i will stop talking now
