FACTS:
• Another name for these creatures is “by the wind sailors”.
• Vellela vellela float on the water, capturing prey by stinging with their centimeter-long tentacles.
• The 45 degree angle of the Vellela’s sail is akin to the fastest angle that a sailing boat may travel at.
• A Vellela is born with either a left or right-angled sail, so a strong wind will split an entire population floating on the ocean as it pushes them either to the right or to the left.
