The hydrocaulus is usually surrounded by a sheath of chitin and proteins called the perisarc. In some species, this extends upwards to also enclose part of the polyps, in some cases including a closeable lid through which the polyp may extend its tentacles. [2] In any given colony, the majority of polyps are specialized for feeding.

The feeding response in Hydra is induced by glutathione (specifically in the reduced state as GSH) released from damaged tissue of injured prey. [17] There are several methods conventionally used for quantification of the feeding response. In some, the duration for which the mouth remains open is measured. [18]
Carousel feeding is a cooperative hunting method used by Norwegian orcas (Orcinus orca) to capture wintering Norwegian spring-spawning herring (Clupea harengus).

Hydrozoa belongs to the phylum Cnidaria, which are aquatic (mainly marine) organisms that are relatively simple in structure with a diameter around 1mm. [1]
For instance, a 1939 study discovered via cannulated cows that the pH of rumen varies throughout the day, becoming most alkaline just prior to feeding. [8] A 1956 study used cannulated cows to determine that a hay-only diet does not change the proportion of fatty acids in a cow's rumen, but every other type of feed measured does. [5]
Bubble-net feeding is a feeding behavior engaged in by humpback whales [1] and Bryde's whales. [2] It is one of the few surface feeding behaviors that humpback whales are known to engage in. [ 3 ] This type of feeding can be done alone or in groups with as many as twenty whales participating at once. [ 4 ]
