Jellyfish don’t have brains or a heart.
Before you think they belong in The Wizard of Oz, be aware they don’t have bones either—the stroll down the Yellow Brick Road alone would require a whole new volume. What they do have is a network of nerves, called a nerve net, which allow them to move, swim, and detect temperature.
✎ Prompt: Use a limited color palette of up to 3 colors to reflect the simplicity of how jellyfish function without a brain or heart.

Octopuses have three hearts.
Two pump blood past the gills, while the other’s job is to circulate blood to the rest of the body. Bonus fact: the heart that’s circulating the blood stops beating when they swim!
✎ Prompt: Add three heart shapes somewhere in your scene. They can be hidden in bubbles, on a rock, or floating in the background.
