A Rumination with Reepicheep: The Wonder of Animals
Sept 14, 2020 | By Bella Gamboa JE ‘22
The room in the aquarium is darkened, each tank illuminated from a hidden source. Against the artificial blue background, a thin, pale filament drifts into view and is soon followed by the billowing body of a jellyfish. Contracting slightly, filling again with water, slowly moving. Yet it lacks a brain or recognizable organs, as it fills the viewer with undeniable wonder! This creature, unconscious yet an animal still; elusive, with some species practically immortal; delicate but painful or even dangerous to the touch.
