They also have a basal disc that helps it hold it's position. at the end of the tentacles are  highly specialized stinging cells called cnidocytes. they shoot neurotoxins at prey when they brush against the tentacles.]]> 2019-05-01 18:07:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jesse_whaley945/ovfreoo24lf1/wish/355917010 jesse_whaley945 https://padlet.com/jesse_whaley945/ovfreoo24lf1/wish/355921671 They mainly feed on aquatic invertebrates such as Daphnia and Cyclops.
While feeding, Hydra extend their body to maximum length and then slowly extend their tentacles.]]> 2019-05-01 18:15:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jesse_whaley945/ovfreoo24lf1/wish/355921671 jesse_whaley945 https://padlet.com/jesse_whaley945/ovfreoo24lf1/wish/355922549 Hydra are generally sedentary or sessile, but do occasionally move quite readily, especially when hunting. They have two distinct methods for moving – 'looping' and 'somersaulting'.]]> 2019-05-01 18:16:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jesse_whaley945/ovfreoo24lf1/wish/355922549 jesse_whaley945 https://padlet.com/jesse_whaley945/ovfreoo24lf1/wish/355923468 Hydra's reproduce asexually through budding, When a hydra is well fed, a new bud can form every two days. Sexual reproduction can happen inside the hydra when there is low food or poor conditions. It swells up and forms ovaries and testes and makes fertilized eggs. when the parent hydra dies the eggs wait to fall onto the bottom of a lake of pond when there are better conditions.]]> 2019-05-01 18:19:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jesse_whaley945/ovfreoo24lf1/wish/355923468 jesse_whaley945 https://padlet.com/jesse_whaley945/ovfreoo24lf1/wish/355938887 The Hydra stay in a polyp in which they keep a slender body. They can live for in a sedated state called Medusa, while in the medusa state they grow limbs and look like a mini corral plant. ]]> 2019-05-01 18:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jesse_whaley945/ovfreoo24lf1/wish/355938887
