C. lamarckii has a blue or yellow tone and grows to approximately 10 to 20 cm (3.9 to 7.9 in) across the bell, but specimens can grow to 30 cm (12 in). [2] In Scandinavian seas, this species rarely grows larger than 15 cm (5.9 in). These jellyfish drift closer to the shore to catch the large abundance of plankton with their tentacles.
The taxonomy of the Cyanea species is not fully agreed upon; some zoologists have suggested that all species within the genus should be treated as one. Two distinct taxa, however, occur together in at least the eastern North Atlantic, with the blue jellyfish (Cyanea lamarckii Péron & Lesueur, 1810) differing in color (blue, not red) and smaller size (10–20 cm [3 + 7 ⁄ 8 – 7 + 7 ⁄ 8 ...
Fun fact: blue whales are 16 times bigger than a human. The post 50 Animals So Giant It’s Hard To Believe They’re Real (New Pics) first appeared on Bored Panda.
Size of Paraceratherium (dark grey) compared to a human and other rhinos (though one study suggests Palaeoloxodon namadicus may have been a larger land mammal). The blue whale is the largest mammal of all time, with the longest known specimen being 33 m (108.3 ft) long and the heaviest weighted specimen being 190 tonnes.
Praya dubia zooids arrange themselves in a long stalk—usually whitish and transparent (though other colours have been seen [5])—known as a physonect colony. [6] The larger end features a transparent, dome-like float known as a pneumatophore, [7] filled with gas which provides buoyancy, allowing the organism to remain at its preferred ocean depth.
Catostylus mosaicus is also known as the jelly blubber or blue blubber jellyfish. [1] The jelly blubber is distinguishable by its color, which ranges from light blue to a dark blue or purple, and its large (250-300mm [ 2 ] ), rounded bell which pulses in a staccato rhythm. [ 1 ]
The Deepstaria enigmatica has a wide, thin bell (up to 60 cm or 2 ft), [1] transparent in appearance, which undulates as the jellyfish moves. They are usually found in Antarctic and near-Antarctic seas, but have been spotted in waters near the United Kingdom and Gulf of Mexico, at depths of 600–1,750 metres (1,970–5,740 ft).
