Interesting point about the electronic Jelly that I’ve read in the past. The Jellyfish it was mimicking may actually NOT just be prey for Giant Squid. The question arises when one considers why the Jellyfish would flash those lights in response to predators. They believe the Jellyfish may actually have more of a symbiotic relationship with the giant squid. And that the squid approaches the Jellyfish to feed on whatever is attacking it, and the Jellyfish’s lights serve to attract bigger predators to dissuade smaller predators from preying on it. Interesting theory, if true.
