Copy & paste this:
FIRST!
Epic gellyfishh
Oh man (o’ war)
yeah, fake
i hope this is fotoshopped …
else i aint skinnydippin no more!
Photoshopped!
No, not really. They catch these things in the Pacific ocean for food in Japan. They’ve been known to sink ships due to their weight. Unfortunately, I cannot recall their species name at this moment.
The Lion’s Mane, one of the longest spanning sea creatures in the world.
A magnificant creature and to those ‘photoshop screamers’ IT IS NOT FAKE it is as real as anything can get
Also called Nomura’s jellyfish, the Japanese have had these guys ruining their fishing once in a while.
Fake, but only kind of. These are Nomura’s jellyfish, or Echizen Kurage. This picture has been photoshopped, but the jelly fish can grow up to 2 meters in diameter, at 660 lbs, and ships have capsized when they caught (dozens of) them.
national geographic piece on Echizen Kurage
not shopped. it’s the lion’s mane jellyfish
.
maybe, but the diver look very shopped.
Yeah! Who ever heard of divers?!
Fake, the lot of ‘em.
Nope, It’s a Nomura.
It’s a Lions Mane jellyfish.
I thought Lion’s Mane’s usually got only about 8 or 9 feet? This one looks like it could possibly be 15 feet on the bell.
The tentacles on the Lion’s Mane can grow impressively long, something like 50-100 feet.
That’s actually longer than a Blue Whale.
I heard grizzly horror tales about this one, but never seen it in pictures! They say that if that thing touch you, you die instantly!
And when they eat you, they ASSIMILATE YOUR BRAIN!
(no, the stings are not recorded to be fatal, but they ARE painful)
LMAO! NOT THE BRAIN!!!
Maybe it’s an urban legend…
Nope, turns out it exists: It’s called Box jellyfish. There are a couple of “instant death” cases… Scary shit.
Box Jellyfish are much smaller. I think they’re about 20cm across. Google ‘Irukandji’ for a real nasty jellyfish, so small you can’t see ‘em.
LMAO IT LOOKS LIKE A GOD DAMN LED!!! But you are right, they are dangerous…
Yeah, the Irukandji are also sometimes called box jellies. Even their bells are poisonous, and they live off the Australian coast.
Fake
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion%27s_mane_jellyfish
largest ever was 2.3 meter 7 ft 6 inch.
and wikipedia has issues….. that is one site that most teachers and even university professors won’t take for a reference on papers. The site can be freely edited, so not everything is true….. don’t reference wikipedia…..
Actually, compared to the encyclopedia Brittanica, and a couple of others (I only remember the Brittanica because that was my encyclopedia of choice), Wikipedia had fewer errors in a random sampling of topics. It also has a broader range of subjects, although the fringes do have less references, and should be trusted less. Compared to another encyclopedia, it has more editors with specific backgrounds in the subjects, it has more references which it links to, I find it much better for a quick and dirty reference. Teachers past elementary shouldn’t let ANY encyclopedia be used as a reference, they’re just to get you started.
Sorry for not using references on the above study. You shouldn’t use me as a source for a paper either.
“The site can be freely edited, so not everything is true….. don’t reference wikipedia…..”
Gee, and I guess no one would dare to edit a picture put on a website on the Cheezburger network… This picture is much more likely to be right than an online dictionary.
The picture is fake, peoples. No jellyfish has ever grown that large in diameter. The largest Lions Mane jellyfish was 120 feet long, but no where near as large in diameter as this one. If it were real, the diver would be caught in the giant tentacles that should be taking up the space he is in.
The largest recorded specimen, found washed up on the shore of Massachusetts Bay in 1870, had a bell (body) with a diameter of 2.3 m (7 feet 6 inches) and tentacles 36.5 m (120 feet) long.
The tentacles are humongous and who says its a lion mane jellyfish? im not good with animals but it could be a different one
It is a different one. It’s a Nomura’s jellyfish.
I’d s**t a whole brick house if I saw that thing.
what happened to the overkill 9000 page ??
That’s what I would like to know.
Bring back OK9K, please. And Once upon a win, too.
Found the same pic without diver at:
http://i40.tinypic.com/dpfkpl.jpg
Looks like both pictures are photoshopped.
that image has a strange space exactly in the same place of the picture whit the thing that the diver is holding in the image of this page… curious
I would think the diver would have to be shopped in; no-one would be brave/stupid enough to get that close to one of those things.
I second jimmy. It definitely looks like the diver was ‘shopped OUT of the larger resolution pic…
I dont care how fake this is, I can guarantee that you will squeel like a small girl and swim in the oppisite direction when you see this. Besides what better creature to fight mega shark and giant octopus than this thing. MOST EPIC THREEWAY BATTLE OVER THE SEAS!
Crap, I forgot my Mega Fishing Harpoons. (MH3 reference)
doctors had to resort to desperate measures when it came to dealing with Kristie Alley’s kidney stone
KILL IT WITH FI–
wait. crap.
Kill it with *Greek* fire!

I thought greek fire goes boom. Mabey I’ve been reading too much Percy Jackson :/
Somewhere in the pacific, Cthulhu just shat himself
Dire Jellyfish
Huge Vermin (aquatic)
Yes this is fake. The Lion’s Mane Jellyfish IS the largest in the world, but the largest ever recorded was found washed up on the beach in 1870 and had a body span that was 7’6″ (still pretty friggin huge!)
The Keyword is “Largest Recorded”.
We know relatively little about our oceans, and as it is vastly harder to monitor the ocean depths as it is to monitor land, who’s to say there aren’t jellyfish that big out there? All I’m saying is you can’t use “largest ever recorded” in an argument like this to disprove the existence of something.
For God’s sake stop the narrow and ignorant-minded comments. Just because you haven’t seen anything like it or heard about it yourself first doesn’t mean it’s fake or shopped.
This was on the news a while back, and they interviewed the scientists that were cataloging them… it’s real… not faked… do a search on Nomura’s Jellyfish and you’ll see even more pictures, just the same as this.
Try exploring the world a little before screaming fake.
FAKE! There’s no such place a an ocean.
It’s a QUEEN Jellyfish! O__O
Holy flaming pile…………….. wow
O HOLY :O … *speachless*
Those little ones only a few inches big are enough to keep me out of the water..
If i saw this one in the water, i would keep of the beach.. maybe leave the city…
LOOK SPONGEBOB ITS KING JELLY
It’s not fake it’s a Nomura’s jellyfish not a Lion’s mane jellyfish. If it was a Lion’s Mane it would have longer tentacles
While we’re talking about just how big lion’s mane jellyfish can get and using Wikipedia, look at this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granrojo
Twelve-foot jellies, as opposed to the largest-ever seven-and-a-half-foot lion’s mane.
U jelly?
