The rare creature with high research and ornamental value is regarded as the “giant panda in water” as it lives only in pollution-free freshwater.
The discovery of the species indicates that the ecological environment is sound in Wuzhishan.
In July 2020, freshwater jellyfish were spotted in Tongshi town in the city.
