The giant humanoid jellyfish shocked divers off the coast of England.

Last week, while swimming in southwest England, a pair of divers met a giant bucket jellyfish (Rhizostoma pulmo), a rare jellyfish that can grow to the size of an adult. Fortunately, they filmed the whole process.

Divers-biologist Liz Daley and underwater photographer Dan Abbott-shared this experience in a Facebook video released as part of Wild Ocean Week on Saturday (July 13)-a series of videos showed the strangeness of the deep sea to help the British Navy raise funds for KDSP, KDSP and KDSP conservation associations. This jellyfish, also known as the dustbin cover jellyfish, is characterized by eight swollen arms, prickly tentacles at the top and a huge spherical head, which gives it an inconspicuous nickname. Daley told Vice that barrel jellyfish are sometimes washed ashore, but it is rare for divers to swim face to face with huge blisters on their heads. [Marine Wonders: Spectacular photos of marine life] "Fish" and "barrel jellyfish" are the largest jellyfish found in British waters. Compared with the largest known lion-maned jellyfish (jellyfish) in the world, it is just a shrimp. This cold-water jellyfish is famous for its 65,438+0,200-long trailing tentacles, which can make the total length of a single creature reach 65,438+0.20 feet (36.5 meters), which is longer than the average length of a blue whale.

The tangled tentacles are very big. If the current brings the jellyfish too close to the densely populated coast, a lion's mane jellyfish may sting 50 to 100 people in a few minutes. Interestingly, a group of unfortunate New Hampshire beach tourists learned a painful lesson on 20 10.
