Lion's mane jellyfish
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

Nola ezagutu
- 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
Askotan honekin nahasten da: 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
Pozoi-ahalmena

Zer egiten du bere pozoiak?
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

Arriskua pertsonentzat: MingarriaBenetan min handia eman dezake, baina ia inoiz ez da larria.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
Ziztatzen badu
- Vinegar can be used to deactivate the stinging cells. If you have touched a large number of tentacles, get medical attention after exposure.1
- Atera uretatik eta kendu tentakuluak (eskularruekin edo oihal batekin).
- Kubomedusa tropikalak: bota ozpina ziztadetan gutxienez 30 segundoz, eskatu laguntza eta egon prest BBS (bihotz-biriketako suspertzea) egiteko. Fisaliak eta beste gehienak: garbitu itsasoko urarekin, eta gero ur beroarekin minerako.

Egon seguru
- Ez ukitu, ez harrapatu eta ez zirikatu inoiz animalia basati bat, txikia izan arren, eta lo edo hilda dagoela badirudi ere.
- Utzi tartea. Bat aurkitzen baduzu, egon lasai, egin atzera poliki eta utzi bere bidetik joaten.
- Batek ziztatzen bazaitu: egon lasai, egon geldi, deitu zure larrialdi-zenbakira (112, 000, 911) edo joan ospitalera azkar. Gogoratu nolakoa zen, argazki batek laguntzen du.
Ez dabil zure atzetik. Pozoia janaria harrapatzeko edo bere burua babesteko erabiltzen du, eta askoz nahiago du ezkutatu. Seguru egoteari buruz gehiago

Datuak
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
Mito-hauslea
Mitoa: The lion's mane jellyfish is the longest animal in the world.
Egia: 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
