Giant Lion's Mane Jellyfish

[McSqueaky]

Hnnnng holy shit.

[CaitlinLouiseBate]

weird to think their stings aren't strong enough to kill humans. 

[taytaybunni]

DUDE DON"T TOUCH IT!

[CabezonGOW]

@taytaybunni

Not all the jellyfish are poisonous.

[chalice4ever]

google...you lied to me!!! 

[ownagemunky]

Don't you just want to punch it and watch it jiggle?

[tayl0rswift18]

Ye...,,,... This is the biggest jellyfish the Lion Mane... no jellyfish is bigger than the lion mane its 2.29meters.., or 120 ft..

[yes4roblox]

One of the jellyfish of this species have tentacles longer than the Blue Whale!!!

[loveisextynct]

thats an insane find at 50ft. where abouts were u diving??

[MJeremiahM]

Not as big as I thought it would be but still cool... Thouch its tentacles and you die?

[allister56]

@PnTNecrosis it doesnt look as big because its further away from the camera the his buddy.

[ItsEchoHere]

QI anyone?

[XXgUtXXsWaGgEd]

They grow like 20 times that size in the north Atlantic they're HUGE

[DragonXD2]

@PnTNecrosis That thing looks like it can rip off someone's head that classifies as giant.

[m4jwilliams]

@PnTNecrosis

A - and your 'more giant' jellyfish video is...where?

B - hyperbole. learn it.

C - your visit netted me about 1/100 of a cent. Pass.

I award you no points for your weak comment.

[LT1berad]

@m4jwilliams soft

[legojoe9]

@m4jwilliams its big but not giant. granted you are brave for getting that close to something that big under water but its not "almost as big as my buddy".

[Zacharysharkhazard]

they get a ton bigger than that. A TON

[Bassmasta79]

what an amazing creature

[Spyguy78]

lion manes can grow bigger then a 20 inch tv i think

[sic4life6661]

this diver, has the biggest balls to get that close to a jellyfish..

[LiveLifeFreeFalling]

When your underwater, its like your in a whole nother world, you cant hear anything, and you see the most amazing sights ever.(=

[Specialer1]

@fusedpower It's Rayquaza...

[NarMach13]

If that was next to me the ocean would be yellow

[agubokwu]

yes

[MATRlK]

The average size of a Lion's Mane Jellyfish bell alone is 8 ft. The tentacles average out at about 90ft.

[cornonthecob8]

Wow. I would have freaked the fuck out!

[Lonlywolf89]

@m4jwilliams that is really cheap, thanks for the info.

[Lonlywolf89]

@m4jwilliams u mentioned its cheaper, how much does it really cost to dive?

[m4jwilliams]

@Lonlywolf89 Depending on cold water or warm water, you could buy a complete set of gear for $1000 or $700 about respectively, and you could then dive for basically free from the shore at that point (say $5/dive to get air in your tank) or do boat dives for around $30-$50/dive. And you could do that for hundreds of dives on that one set of gear...

[venestyler]

@m4jwilliams Don't forget to add in the he needs to take the necessary training and courses for certain diving.

[Lonlywolf89]

this is awsome but i prefer being above ground then under it i prefer skydiving lol

[m4jwilliams]

@Lonlywolf89 I've done that too - however, as awesome as the rush is screaming to the ground, you just can't beat the hour + you get out of a dive (and it is a heck of a lot cheaper!)

[trintrin326]

yeah why does it sound like flushing a toilet after taking a giant dump in it

[mtnlogistics]

isn't it extremely dangerous to be that close to one? im sure even a smaller one (by comparison) like that could sting and kill him quickly.

[prettytp1991]

I don't if its gross; I want 2 touch its head 2 C how it feels.

[SmokeableLove]

uhh i dont wanna touch this creepy bastard

[rngepkn33b]

i wnna spear fish it

[Atlanta23410]

why does it sound like a flushing toilet??

[m4jwilliams]

@Atlanta23410 That's the best sound on earth - breathing underwater. Only bubbles - no cell phone, boss, or TV beating up the brain

[KoH4711]

@Atlanta23410 Because, apparently, your mind is full of shit.

[MourneOne]

Does it do body damage?

[1337guantes]

@MourneOne It hits around 225 depending on ur def lvl

[MourneOne]

@1337guantes What are you talking about a game?

[1337guantes]

@1337guantes Lol yeah im joking

[Jimin4746]

this thing can grow up as big as a whale.

[jman3267]

The scary thing is that this is a small one.

[jman3267]

Let me restate that. This one is how big they normally get. They can get bigger though.

[CrazCod]

@jman3267 I agree the longest known animal was a lions mane jellyfish that was 120 feet long. A bootleg worm that was 180 feet long was once found but they didnt count it because it was stretched to about 3x its normal length.

As huge as they get, I scuba dive and ive never seen anything like one, I hope I eventually will.....

[fusedpower]

@CrazCod WRONG the largest animal ever is rayqueza

[spyN09]

@fusedpower - Go go pokemon fan. Sigh

[fusedpower]

@spyN09 lol...umad?

[deathdontwait]

@jman3267 NICE COMMENT! i love IT!

[superdan1875]

wow, you hang out with a big jellyfish

[Barbsmovies1]

Great pictures...I have one posted as well under "Jellyfish swarm in Alaska" filmed 2002.

[IzInb0undzI]

gee i wonder why its called lions mane :p

[zym40]

because its tentacles reminds the lion mane

[IzInb0undzI]

omg sarcasm dumbass

[joathann]

omg sarcasm again dumbass.

[IzInb0undzI]

wat?!

[killzombies8]

ive seen bigger -.-

[zx6rtt]

@killzombies8

that's what she said

: [

[cooliosmyname]

@killzombies8 thats wut she said

[yes4roblox]

@killzombies8 Impossible.This species is the biggest jellyfish of all. The biggest one had tentacles longer than the blue whale.

If your talking about this jellyfish in the video, It could be an juveline jellyfish

[PartyPinkie]

@yes4roblox Erm herm...

QI?

Excellent show.

[JeziMingo33]

That thing is darn huge.

But very pretty.

[BlondeCurlsBlueEyes]

wow! o of earth's oldest creatures side by side with one of the newest :D So cool...

[m4jwilliams]

I guess...by, what, a day?... :)

[BlondeCurlsBlueEyes]

lol try a couple of million years :D that's so cool how close you got! You're so lucky!

[meamverysmart]

What a ugly, yet awesome creature.

[Cnidarious]

Ugly?

[meamverysmart]

Ya, I find it ugly. What don't you get?

[Cnidarious]

I suppose i can see where you might think so. The Oral arms of that particular species do not show up well on camera, looking sort of Mop like. I tend to think of Medusas as being some of the most decorative and Beautiful creatures on the planet. Do a google image search for these - "Chrysaora achlyos" "Chrysaora colorata" "Periphylla periphylla" "Solmissus" "Aurelia aurita" or even just "Rhizostome" These aren't even the half of it.

[weepingson]

thats weird.

[kylepilot747]

i dived there. havent seen nothing like that before huge jelly fish

[tyzzni]

u have more guts then i
