Introduncing the Lion's Mane Jellyfish
>The tentacles of larger specimens may trail as long as 30 m (100 ft) or more.
>At 37 m (120 ft) in length, the largest known specimen was longer than a blue whale
>On July 21, 2010, around 150 people are thought to have been stung by the remains of a lion's mane jellyfish that had broken up into countless pieces in Rye, New Hampshire, in the United States.
>Considering the size of the species, it is possible that this mass incident was caused by a single specimen.

Jellyfish are called the "brain of the sea" because most of their cells are nervous tissue. The average box jellyfish has as many neurons as me and you.
These are scary but also stunningly beautiful. Like aliens or giant bloodcells in the ocean's veins.

Soooo, all life on earth are basically just jellyfish that has some how evolved meat and bone and tendon armor to protect our neurons?

If you believe the evolutionist narrative, pretty much.

Bitch please. This fucker right here has a venom so powerfull it can only be described as ''the feeling of impending doom''
Portuguese and Lion Mane ain't got nothing on this motherfucker. Think of him as the One Punch Man of the seas

I wonder what it would feel like if I poked it with my penis
I've always wanted a jellyfish aquarium.
It's something I want to get someday but I have no idea how easy or expensive they are to keep.
These pics are from aquarium but maybe you'll like anyway

There are retail jellyfish tanks available that come with special water treatment for the jellies and things like that. I'm not sure how well they work but they're nearly identical to the small ones the aquarium uses so I assume they're good. Jellyfish need circular flow in the tank to stop them from killing themselves by bumping into things. The tanks run about $100-300 commonly and the jellies can be around $50 each. This isn't the only source for them but their stuff seems good and it's readily available. I've never kept them myself so make sure to do more research than I have https://www.jellytank.com/

I think I got stung by a jelly fish on Miami beach a few months ago. I felt a shock on my left shoulder. Then it kinda started growing to my lower back and started burning, accompanied by a redness to the affected area. It lasted around an hour then went away.
Was it a jellyfish?

ok bye
What aquarium is that at?
Anyone here into Kuragehime (anime/manga) and want to talk about it?
Even better if you're reading the manga.
>since the anime covers so little of the series

Irukandji are singlehandedly one of the scariest things ever in the ocean. I watched a documentary on those things when I was little and I've been so fucking thankful to live in a landlocked area.

jellyfish exist today so we can't be evolved jellyfish
are you retarded ?
even if evolution worked like that, which it doesn't, don't you think unicellular organisms, plants, fungi, etc, aren't living creatures ?
am i being baited boi
>>2444424

Ok, I'm a fundamentalist Christian, and even I know that's not how evolution is supposed to work. That's like saying "If i have a cousin, why do I still have a grandma?"
>>2443466
huh? of course not. the common ancestor's descendants diversified over millions of years into various bacteria, plantlife, fungi, animals etc. including cnidarians like jellyfish, who are one small branch of a very diverse tree of life descending from the first successful self-replicating cell that diversified to exploit the Earth's conditions and that resulted in all the organisms you see today. most organisms certainly did not descend from jellyfish or cnidarians.

>jellyfish exist today so we can't be evolved jellyfish
not true. obviously our ancestors aren't jellyfish, but even if we were "evolved" jellyfish that would not mean there would be no more jellyfish.
there are only really two ways a species can die off a large scale, and that is if their ecological niche is better filled by another species (which will subsequently replace it) or if their niche is destroyed. as it stands no other organism can fill that niche better, nor has it disappeared in Earth's history. thus there will always be jellyfish.
