The lion's mane jellyfish is one of the largest jellyfish known, and its bell can be over 2 m across in the far north. It lives in cold northern seas, including the English Channel, the North Sea and the Irish Sea. Its long, trailing stinging tentacles can wash up on beaches in late summer and autumn.1

Leef in

Arctic, northern Atlantic and northern Pacific Oceans, including the English Channel, North Sea, Irish Sea and western Scandinavian waters1

Arktiese Oseaan, Atlantiese Oseaan, Stille Oseaan, Noordsee

Tuis

It stays mostly near the surface, at no more than 20 m deep, and drifts with ocean currents. Late summer and autumn are when most are seen, as currents sweep them onto beaches.1

Lengte

50 cm tot 2,1 m (1,6 ft tot 6,9 ft)1

Topspoed

omtrent 1,3 km/h (0,81 mph)

Swem, rowwe skatting

Wat eet dit?

It eats fish, zooplankton and smaller jellyfish. It uses its stinging tentacles to catch, pull in and eat its prey.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Bell is divided into eight lobes, giving it the look of an eight-point star1
Young ones are light orange or tan, darkening to red and purple as they grow1
Long, thin, trailing tentacles, with many more tentacles around the mouth1
Bell is often about 50 cm across in lower latitudes, and much larger in the far north1
Usually found alone, rarely in groups1

Word dikwels verwar met: The blue jellyfish (Cyanea lamarckii) is sometimes found in the same waters. It is blue rather than red, and smaller, with a bell of about 10 to 20 cm across.1

Gifkrag

Steektentakels

Duisende piepklein steekselle skiet af wanneer iets aan hulle raak.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

Its tentacles carry stinging cells, called nematocysts, which inject a sting when touched. The sting is very painful and feels like intense itching or burning, and it can cause temporary pain and redness where the skin was touched. Stings across large parts of the body can cause whole-body (systemic) effects, and medical attention is recommended in that case.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: PynlikDit kan regtig seermaak, maar dit is amper nooit ernstig nie.

Stings are not known to be fatal in healthy people, and there is normally no real danger, though people with special allergies may be at risk. Rare severe stings in deep water can cause panic, which may lead to drowning. In July 2010, about 150 beachgoers were stung by the remains of one broken-up jellyfish on a beach in New Hampshire, US.1

As dit steek

Vinegar can be used to deactivate the stinging cells. If you have touched a large number of tentacles, get medical attention after exposure.1
Klim uit die water en pluk enige tentakels af (met handskoene of 'n lap).
Vir tropiese kubuskwalle: gooi vir minstens 30 sekondes asyn oor die steke, roep hulp en wees gereed om KPR te doen. Vir bloublasies en die meeste ander: spoel af met seewater, dan warm water vir die pyn.

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As een jou steek: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly

die moeite werd om te weet

Feite

The longest recorded tentacles were 36.6 m long, longer than a blue whale.1

Its tentacles can still sting for up to 25 days after they have detached from the jellyfish.1

Each of the eight lobes of its bell has about 70 to 150 tentacles, and it has around 1,200 tentacles near its mouth.1

The leatherback sea turtle feeds almost exclusively on lion's mane jellyfish in large numbers during summer around Eastern Canada.1

Unlike most jellyfish that drift in groups, the lion's mane is completely solitary.1

Mite-breker

Mite: The lion's mane jellyfish is the longest animal in the world.

Waarheid: This claim was made on a TV show, but it was corrected. A bootlace worm reported in 1864 was said to be over 55 m long, and that report is doubted because bootlace worms can stretch well beyond their natural length. If that report is wrong, the lion's mane would be the longest animal.1
