Moon jellyfish are about 25 cm in diameter, but they can get a little larger.

They are common in England, but not powerful enough to give them a slight stinging sensation.

They are colorless with hollow tentacles, but can have pink, yellow, purplish, or red rings.

Barrel jellyfish can grow up to about 90 cm.

They’ve found it washed out on Dorset beaches, but they’re usually in deeper waters.

Their tentacles can reach 1.9 meters (6 feet), but are said to be quite harmless.

Still, you should not touch it.

Even if you are washed away dead on the beach, wet tentacles can give you a light sting.

The mauve jellyfish are said to make a sting sound like an electric shock.

Luckily, it’s not common in England, but was found in deeper waters on the west and north coasts.

Due to warming, numbers have increased over the past few years and have eventually hit thousands of vacationers.

Although the body is small, the tentacles can reach 10 feet (3 meters).

The Lions Mane Jellyfish has the most severe sting of all jellyfish species in British waters.

The acupuncture is known to put people in hospitals.

They can even stab you when washed off the shore.

They can grow longer than blue whales and are known to have 1.8 m (6 feet) of tentacles behind them in the water.

Lions man jellyfish can weigh up to 25 kg.

Three people were hospitalized last month on a beach in Galway, Ireland.

One woman was stabbed in the face and everyone was warned to leave the water.

Their stings are known to be like nettles, but it is still undesirable to touch blue jellyfish.

They are blue and are common in all waters of the British Isles.

It usually grows to about 10 to 20 cm.

Why do jellyfish thrive in the UK?

Some experts believe that warmer sea conditions caused by climate change are increasing the amount of creatures that jellyfish like jellyfish eat.

This means that some jellyfish populations can thrive.

Nathalie Pettorelli, senior researcher at the Zoological Society of London, told MailOnline: “The number of jellyfish can grow rapidly under the right conditions, but these right conditions may vary depending on where you are and the species you are viewing.

“Overfishing (reducing predation pressure on jellyfish) and climate change have been cited as responsible for the increase in the number of jellyfish we have seen in recent years.”

The longest living animal

Here is a list of creatures that have been around for a very long time…

The longest living human on record was Jeanne Louise Calment, who lived to 122 years and 164 days. Spider number 16 lived to the age of 43. The oldest cat on record lived to age 38. Won the longest living goldfish amusement park and lived to age 43. The Bowhead whale is known for being the oldest mammal species on Earth, and the oldest animal until the age of 211. A few years ago, fishermen caught the Greenland shark, a beach about 512 years old. Attendees try to rescue the giant barrel jellyfish washed by Devon Beach.
