Pink meanie
The pink meanie is a large jellyfish, a true jellyfish in the class Scyphozoa. It lives in the Gulf of Mexico and hunts other jellyfish. Its huge size and long, trailing tentacles make it one of the most striking jellyfish in its region.1

怎样认出它
- The bell can grow up to 70 cm across.1
- It has extensive, elaborate oral arms and tentacles.1
- Its tentacles can stretch 25 to 30 m, a very large fishing area for catching prey.1
常被误认为: It was once thought to belong to the same family as the lion's mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata). Differences in body shape and genetics showed that it is a separate family.1

它对人有多危险?
对人的危险: 很疼可能真的很疼,但几乎从不严重。
如果它蜇人
- 离开水面,取下所有触手(戴手套或用布)。
- 热带箱水母:在蜇伤处倒醋至少 30 秒,呼救,并准备好做心肺复苏。僧帽水母和大多数其他水母:先用海水冲洗,再用热水止痛。
一定先拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)。这里是一般急救指导,不是医疗建议。 急救基础
注意安全
- 永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物,即使是很小的,即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
- 给它留出空间。如果遇到它,保持冷静,慢慢后退,让它走自己的路。
- 如果被它蜇了:保持冷静,保持不动,拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样,拍张照片会有帮助。
它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己,而且它更愿意躲起来。 更多安全知识

事实
The pink meanie's tentacles can stretch up to 30 m, far longer than its bell.1
Its oral arms can trap and digest several prey items at the same time.1
Large pink meanies depend heavily on Aurelia jellyfish for food.1
A mass sighting in the Gulf of Mexico in 2000 led scientists to create a new family for this species and its genus.1
By preying on Aurelia jellyfish, the pink meanie helps control their numbers.1
