I had no idea the tentacles could reach 30 to 100 feet!

[@soundseeker63]

Human's don't need to explore other planets. We have alien life forms right here at home (and I am never going swimming in the sea again!)

[@sandradibiaso7316]

Never swim in the tropical sea. California doesn't have to worry about these creatures but Florida does.

[@eckee]

ok genius lmao

[@okamijubei]

What about extension of migrations just to avert human overpopulation on earth?

[@sujanaryal833]

No, alien doesn't mean weird life forms from human perspective, alien means not from here. It is from Earth so it's not alien. When you go to a foreign country you are an alien there but on a planetary level you need to go out of Earth to be an alien. So to us living on Earth alien means life forms out of this planet. You could argue that sea creatures are alien from land creatures perspective and vice versa but the one you mentioned are on a planetary scale.

[@XB10001]

This is NOT alien life, by definition. 🙄

I had no clue that this is what I saw on the beach, and was photographing, thinking it was the most beautiful jellyfish I have ever seen!

How is this a group of different organisms, but the human body isn't? I don't understand the difference.

[@bacaw2856]

Think about it: multiple organisms working as one, vaguely resembling a huge brain, constantly floating ashore in flocks? These guys were trying to evolve into the next thing after humans.

[@okamijubei]

Could it be another cause and leads to multicellular organism evolution? Like single celled organisms bunch up like those organisms and turn into multicellular?

Everyone loves a nice portuguese hug, they say it felt so good that you almost pass out! It's like fado so you fadeaway!

Its really one animal. It develops from a single egg. So all parts have identical DNA and each part develops into its own specific function.
