jellyfish

Are you goddamn kidding me?! My entire childhood revolved around the idea that I knew what to do if somebody at the beach was stung by a jellyfish. I'll tell you what not to do; PEE ON IT!

This... this is exactly why people say they're terrified of the ocean. One day you're sunbathing and walking the shore line with your family, the next you're running into a 5 foot wide, lion's mane jellyfish lurking a bit too close for comfort.

Just when you thought ponds were safe. And they are, but still...

Holy CRAP!!

My jaw dropped learning about this.

I only like seeing jellyfish in an aquarium and for some reason, Maine has a ton of them lately.

A family in Maine was stunned when they saw a massive Lion's mane jellyfish had washed ashore Peaks Island beach

Imagine walking along Old Orchard Beach enjoying the scenery when you spot something a little unusual. That's what happened to Marc Bourassa, a longtime resident of Old Orchard Beach. Marc says he spotted a giant jelly fish in the Camp Ellis Bay View Area of Saco, Maine while walking along the beach.

The Lion's Mane jellyfish can grow tentacles up to 100 feet long, and they're washing up on shore left and right.
