The following paragraph refers to marine animals:
|
The primary food source for aeolid nudibranchs, commonly referred to as sea slugs, is coelenterates such as sea anenomes and jellyfish which have numerous specialised stinging cells (nematocysts) on their tentacles. Aeolids are able to remove undamaged nematocysts from their food, store them in special sacs known as cnidosacs, then use the nematocysts to sting other predators. When attacked, the nudibranch discharges nematocysts through their pores. In fact, the sting of these nudibranchs is often worse than that of coelenterates, since nudibranchs usually store the most virulent and poisonous of nematocysts. It is not known how nudibranchs remove nematocysts from their food or how they store them in working order in their cnidosacs.

This information refers to the ruins of St Patrick's Rock at Cashel, often referred to as The Rock of Cashel.
|
Earliest and most lofty of the Cashel edifices is the Round Tower, a very perfectly preserved example, while next in date stands the famous Chapel of King Cormac, consecrated in 1134. Joining these buildings, and stretching out to east and west beyond them, lies the roofless Cathedral, built between 1235 and 1270, which is crowned by a massive tower - perhaps of the 14th century - and terminating, at its western end, in the castle built a century later.
