Squishy

He shall be mine and I shal name him squishy and he shall be my squishy. Best line from that movie! :laughing:

I saw that quote in a magazine article about Finding Nemo. It was awesome, that quote was. :smiley:

princess_daisy: I agree with you there. I love it the way Dory says it.

  1. Are jellyfish really that small? If so, how long do they stay that way?
    It depends on the type of jellyfish. Jellyfish are zooplankton (meaning they drift with the current) and mature jellyfish range from the small Irukandji jellyfish, which grows to be 12mm wide and 25mm long to the Portuguese Man Of War (though not a true ā€œjellyfishā€), which has tentacles that can reach 50m (165 ft) long. Jellyfish have two stages of life. In the first stage, they exist as tiny polyps similar to anemones that can either be stationary or free-floating. The second stage is the medusa stage, that most of us think of when we think jellyfish. The jellyfish start out being about 1mm wide, but grow quickly to the full size of their particular species. Most jellyfish only live 2-6 months.

  2. What was he doig out in the middle of the ocean without his parents?
    He was in fact with his ā€œparentsā€. Jellyfish naturally are found in blooms of hundreds or thousands of jellyfish. They are not like a pack of wolves in the sense that they do not rely on eachother for survival and play separate roles within the blooms.

  3. How do you spell Squishy? Squishie? Squishee?
    Squishy.

Iā€™m sure that is more than you ever needed to know about jellyfish. If you meet one and decide to shake itā€™s tentacle, a less gross alternative to someone peeing on you is using a dilute solution of vinegar. Donā€™t rub it! ocean lifeguard

Hmā€¦ I didnā€™t expect this ā€˜tinyā€™ character to be so widely popular. I didnā€™t really care much about it when I first saw this small offspring of the large deadly, more attraction-receiving jellyfishes as I felt that it was merely another phase Dory went through. Like, she just noticed another thing and sheā€™s very delighted about it. Then after that, she probably forgot about it (whether intentionally or otherwise) in later parts of the film when she notice other things delightful to her as well.

i love squishy he is so cuteā€¦

I donā€™t see how you can dislike Squishy. Itā€™s a tiny jellyfish named Squishy. What else do you need to like him/her.
