October 8
Master Zhou, who lives in Zazuo Town, Xiuwen County, Guiyang City, said
He was playing in the nearby mountains
Spot some little things in the pond next to it that you've never seen before
These "elves" swim through the air
He was taken aback when he went online
So, what exactly is the "little elf"
Worth his surprise?
"Elves" appear in the pond
The body is bell-shaped, the body is transparent, the tentacles on the edges are clearly visible, and as the umbrella body closes, this small thing is still swimming in the water cup, which is the magical small species in the mountains that Master Zhou and his friends saw.
Friends who have seen the documentary "Underwater World"
Eighty percent guessed it
Isn't that just a jellyfish?
But Master Zhou and the reporter were puzzled
Jellyfish in the sea are not uncommon
But these "elves"
It actually appeared in a pond in the Xiuwen Mountains
It was not surprising that Master Zhou was surprised by this
Under the leadership of Master Zhou and others
The reporter walked around the pond
From time to time, you will find the figure of a small jellyfish
I saw them in groups of three or five
Constantly swimming in the water
Reporters saw
The pond has about four or five acres of land
The only source of water is the mountain spring water that is constantly injected from the side
The water quality is very clear
Master Zhou told reporters
He and his friends found the little ones on October 8th
Later they found it on the Internet
It is most likely endangered – the Chinese peach blossom jellyfish
Master Zhou said that the Chinese peach blossom jellyfish is known as the "giant panda in the water", which has extremely high requirements for the water quality of life, and is the only small jellyfish living in freshwater, which is a world-class endangered species. Considering that the pond had been developed nearby and people often came to fish and barbecue, Master Zhou and other villagers decided to ask the media for help. Hopefully, the local government will protect these "elves."
After receiving feedback on the situation
Staff of the Zazo Subdistrict Office and the Forestry Department in Xiuwen County
Also arrived at the scene
He also said that they would report to the relevant departments at the higher level
And invite experts to identify
At the same time, it is promised that they will increase the protection of the surrounding environment
Jellyfish are found deep in the mountains
This is indeed a rare thing
So which name do these jellyfish belong to?
Is it already an endangered species?
What are the precautions for protection?
To this end, the reporter specially interviewed Professor Yao Junjie, master tutor of the College of Animal Science of Guizhou University and an authoritative expert in aquaculture in Guizhou Province.
Watch the video taken by the reporter's mobile phone
Combined with their many years of scientific research experience
Professor Yao Junjie was the first time
Answers were given to the jellyfish that appeared in Xiuwen
"This is the peach blossom jellyfish, the only freshwater jellyfish, has appeared before, in different places in our Guizhou different counties have appeared in succession." Professor Yao told reporters that peach blossom jellyfish are extremely picky about the water environment, in the past ten years, Zunyi Suiyang, Qiannan Fuquan and Qingzhen City Red Maple Lake in our province have appeared one after another, although the rare number is not much, but the peach blossom jellyfish has not yet been included in the list of national protected animals.
Professor Yao Junjie, College of Animal Science, Guizhou University: The environmental conditions of the water body are very good, and the water quality is excellent and harmless, including our weather and the right temperature, so everyone here has a rare situation.
Professor Yao said
Peach blossom jellyfish belong to the most primitive coelenterates
The history can be traced back to 500 to 600 million years ago
Whether it's for the peach blossom jellyfish itself or the surrounding hydrological environment
All have high scientific research value
"With the improvement of the level of science and technology, we can further understand the species, because there is not much understanding of peach blossom jellyfish at present." Another piece can be understood from the perspective of water ecology, some relationships between it and the water environment, and how to better protect the water environment. Professor Yao said frankly that human activities have continuously destroyed the living environment of peach blossom jellyfish, and the protection work has become urgent, which requires the coordination of multiple local departments to achieve.

Yao Junjie, Professor of the College of Animal Science of Guizhou University: Some pollution situations should be avoided as much as possible. For example, do barbecues in the surrounding area, or fishing, to reduce the interference of peach blossom jellyfish. We keep the surrounding environment of the peach blossom jellyfish well, then maybe it will come out next year and the next year.
