On the Sanderia Malayensis:

English Wikipedia:

[No Common name]

Japanese Wikipedia:

Amakusa Jellyfish :D

(OK, I’ll admit that I’m exaggerating just a bit and taking things out of context, but the bottom line is that you can learn a lot just from researching the same animal from different languages of the Wikipedia!

If you’re also interesting in learning about this jellyfish, I’ll link them here :>:

sanderia malaynsis (EN) アマクサクラゲ (sanderia malaynsis) (JP)

#honestly I somewhat prefer the japanese entries to the english entries of the wiki #though the English wiki is by far the most organized (even if it's plenty imperfect)#still the Japanese wikis tend to be limited by location #while the English wiki has a ton of stubs of jellyfish from all across the world #Japan tends to only do the well-known jellies (and only really elaborates on the local species- which i can't fault them for but for those-#-who want to learn more about jellyfish. they'd probably find it easier to go to the English Wiki)#honestly tho the english wiki does include more sources #i'm a lil sad that the japanese wiki didn't include a source that detailed the jellyfish's life cycle from Hokkaido University #i'm sure they would've released that study in japanese too... sigh :(#though it also includes information from the 110 jellyfish encyclopedia WHICH IS MAKING ME SEETHE BECAUSE !! I WANT TO READ IT!!!!#I WANNA READ IT SO BAD BUT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND JAPANESE HGHNN #tbh tho the narrow localization of the jellyfish wiki page doesn't really bother me too much because Ite (the game im researching for) does-#-take place in japan. so.#also also it appears that Japan keeps these jellies in aquariums as well so it makes sense that there wouldn't be much info on it in english #still #it was a very entertaining read and now im going to cry because my calculus homework is too hard for me and i don't wanna do it
