Wanna See A Huge Jelly Fish


The Lions Mane Jellyfish is the largest jellyfish in the world. They have been swimming in arctic waters since before the dinosaurs (over 650 million years ago) and are among some of the oldest surviving species in the world.

5. How amazingly cool!
I thought the portugese man-of-war was the largest jellyfish, but it's tiny compared to this one!
