Scary encounter

I’ve never seen a jellyfish, of any size, but I know that they can be quite dangerous.  Now, imagine stumbling upon one the size of a small house:

At first I actually failed to notice the man on the left side, mesmerized by the beauty of the animal.  Then I saw it and my jaw dropped!!

Here’s the caption:

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.

The largest can come in at about 6 meters and has tentacles over 50 meters long. Pretty amazing when you think these things have been swimming around for so long.

They have hundreds of poisonous tentacles that it used to catch passing by fish. it then slowly drags in it’s prey and eats it.

This species is older than the dinosaurs and it’s still around!!  Makes me wonder what else could be lurking around, still undiscovered...
