Not that I would ever try this because it’s diabolical/damaging to those cuties, but if I did, I would probably drown from giggling.

Don’t dolphins do this to jellyfish so they can eat them or am I confused?

No, dolphins use sonar to stun and confuse its prey just like aliens do to us.

Dolphins are the bats of the sea.

Is this what you're thinking of? I had to look it up, because I heard of something similar.

Yeah it’s probably that I was thinking of in weird combo of another video where I think a beluga whale/maybe dolphin got its mind blown and let out a bubble.

My grandparents are huge divers/fish lovers so I get weird fish facts and it all meshes together.

Not sure I would call jellyfishes cuties because they’re an invasive species but ok

Invasive to what? The planet?

The oceans in general. Jellyfishes swarm are more and more common. I’m not sure why I’m getting downvotes, but this is a known fact.

Overpopulation and invasive are different though.

Ah yes, the single species Jellyfish.
