Do jellyfish have our five senses?

Though jellyfish do not have sight, per se, many species can detect light and dark. Some swim away when exposed to a sudden light, while others swim when it gets dark. They also have chemical receptors that more or less help them to almost taste what is around them.

They have a well-developed sense of touch, particularly along their tentacles and manubrium (mouth).

Finally, many species also have a primitive sense of balance, which they get from statocysts arranged around the base of their bells.
