[@clcovill]

There's just something so amazing about jellyfish... I could go to an aquarium and stare at them all day... they seem...... Magical. They're mesmerizing. You just can't take your eyes off of them.

[@samhilton4173]

Well, it's been 10 years, do you still spend your days staring at jellyfish?

[@green29373]

@@samhilton4173i sure do, thats why im here

[@funkboxing]

Dear lord! What an amazing creature! I'm glad there are other people willing to make films like these because I wouldn't go anywhere near that thing. Thanks for the video!!!

[@lagriffn]

So much nope!!!

[@xxcreamythefoxx7086]

It's cute!!

[@DCFTW68]

how dare people do that! i was enjoying myself at the beach one day and i got stung by a tiny cute looking transparent jellyfish, it HURTS! now imagine this one!!

[@ashr431]

Delavega Champs the smaller the jelly the worse it gets

[@sikerslalatm3147]

If the jelly is big, it will barley hurt. If it’s small, it will.

[@DCFTW68]

@Battle cats is cool :l true but there are exceptions, take wild boars as an example, or a hippos and there are the crocs and gators too ...🙂

[@ultramansato]

just imagine how painful it must be to touch those electric hairs for a second.

[@serenitychannel1]

That is enormous! Can you image the voltage from that creature? It could light up Las Vegas! :)

[@sikerslalatm3147]

That’s not how jellyfish work 😂

[@AllredGL]

You’re really just gonna take that too 💀

[@Ludendorf01]

Well, I imagine they'll make some turtles very happy indeed.

[@LostTrollSoul]

Aaah, it's so cute!

[@xxcreamythefoxx7086]

I WANT TO DIE!!! ITS SOOOO ADORABLE

[@ghostbird92]

yeah, it is hard to completely relax at the beach when you're worrying about what could be swimming around right under you (and when you get stung of course)

[@elliotchen7706]

they are such elegant creatures. how can a jellyfish weigh 400 pounds?

[@elliotsgirl]

jellyfish are a lot harder than i thought they'd be. i was in texas and one was on the beach and it was like really really stiff rubber

[@dejavuchicka]

*hypervenalates* O....M....GEEEEEE!!!!! *hides under bed and refuses to ever go swimming in Japan*

[@galeper10]

i cant even handle the small 5inch jelly fish's. they make me run and scream like a little girl.

[@nickymansell6605]

Badass

[@lalasheng]

i saw that show on art central 'jellyfish invasion' its really filled with many info of jellyfish and japan is one country that is having such serious problem with jellyfish since most of the jellyfish killed their fish and jellyfish can even survive at a dead zone which make it possible to live in any conditions ..

[@Odieandgarfield]

Imagine these things getting sucked up in a hurricane and then it started raining giant jellyfish...

[@GeekNArtist]

If that thing got near me, I'd be screaming like a little girl.

[@ironDsteele]

Googled it and found this info: Growing up to 2 m (6 ft 7 feet) in diameter and weighing up to 200kg (440 lb), stings of this large jellyfish are painful, they are not usually toxic enough to cause serious harm in humans. However, the jellyfish's sting has been reported as fatal in some cases by causing a build-up of fluid in the lungs.

[@SuperSmashShows]

Jellyfish scare the crap outta me they're like Metroids from that Nintendo game *shudder*.

[@LOLgal96]

OH. MY. GOD! spongebob would b like "wtf?!" thats not going to fit in his jellyfishing net

[@wopor333]

jellyfish are better for staring at than lava lamps. mabye someone could invent a lava lamp with jellyfish inside of it

[@sv650sninja650r]

This is becoming a serious problem in the seas around Japan. What is worse is that as soon as these creatures are killed; right before death, the male and female jellyfishes release the eggs and sperms in the millions. Normally I dont watch National Geographics much but recently there was a documentary called 'Jellyfish Invasion' ; quite an eye opener.

[@Tsutomo392]

Thats big! I wonder what live may feel like being a jellyfish like that, people taking pictures of me! Nice video anyways, id never get close to it either. ^_^

[@mvandeven]

when i see jellyfish, i just have a compulsion to retrieve a sword and hack down the center.

[@asd52320032003]

cool love jelly fish they have a problem with nomaras in Japan have they fixed it?

[@DarksparkNecrobat]

That happened to some people in some beaches somewhere. I heard in some places, some lifeguards are wearing thick pantyhoses (strange,but true) to protect themselves from their stings.

[@jfilipe007]

OMG That looks like an Old Man with a Long Beard! LOLOL

[@mercoid]

If I had it as a pet I would name it Boigoik.

[@broigheall]

I woke up with one of these beasts in the bed beside me after my friend's stag.

[@Nerdhot]

That reminds me of the jellyfish that got pissed off at squidward and shocked him,, then followed him home and shocked the bastard, right out of his body cast..

[@neontom69]

If this was on another planet it would be cool.

[@dsachan1]

I would shit my pants if I saw one of those while diving.

[@williamwzl]

Jellicent. Someone get my pokeballs.

[@MinuteXify]

WOW!! thats a huge ass jellyfish. LOL but so interesting.

[@UncleExpendable]

It eats everything, even its own kind, it's one of the most poisonous things on the planet, and it looks like someone gave birth to silly string... As Scott Ferguson said: If I was forced to battle a puma with knives taped to it’s paws, or this thing, I’d get me some puma.

[@DarksparkNecrobat]

I think the Box Jellyfish has a very deadly poison.

[@SaviorThree]

You mean "Man O' War', and this is not a man o war. Those are colonies of polyps, with the head floating at the surface. This is, in fact, a jellyfish, and I believe the above poster is correct; it is a Lion's Mane Jelly.

[@CrisX8]

hey man not everyone's a jellyfish expert, but yes it is harmless

[@Swope27]

wow! id like to see the net spongebob uses to atch that thing O o anyways great vid!

[@grahamdale34]

where's Spongebob when you need him..?

[@MassiveAsian]

very cool! can these hurt you?

[@kailsan]

@NoisinO well, they actually have sense organs called rophalia around the margin of the bell so they see if there is light or not :)

[@VGamingJunkieVT]

Imagine if that thing decided to ATTACK.

[@AshleyLynn724]

....THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID! Haha. Idk if youre a fan of 'The Office' or not, but I LOVVVE that show.

[@josejalepeno63]

@muiscnight its basically 95% water,no brain,no eyes,ne feeling,it basically just drifts with the current.the stingers basically have little pircks on the end of them and if they are touched,they send a paralyzing poison in that part.very painful

[@anthonyctoma]

I landed in a patch of about 20 jelly fish and I tell u what, this scares the hell out of me.

[@DalekHunter1994]

It's kind of cute...and alien looking.

[@ZTATION]

The reason he is so big is that he has bin peacefully living, no kids trhowing rocks on it and such, and such and such it has just lived a long time ..

[@MusiCandConversE]

i shall call him squishy and he shall be mine, he shall be my squishy!

[@Imptheshrimp]

if i had one like that,i'd call it Sho-gan. oh and too ur question. no jellyfish aren't venomous (poisonous). they sting. i'm not sure if they use volts or sumpthin else.

[@sternfan75]

that diver is nucking futs, i'd never swim by one of those damn things.

[@crash86ed]

^^^hahaha. you would need such a huge net for that thing.

[@KBK4078]

Omg It's been 15 years, do you still remember this comment? 👁️ 👄 👁️

[@theotherther1]

@pastuiedada Um, ok..but what did this badly proofread flamewar have to do w/ nightmare jellyfish?

[@jotunobsidianeyes]

So beautiful, so alien.

[@marenbraun]

What a beautiful giant.

[@Dracosgal8]

they arnt ugly they are beautiful...pretty amazing they dont have any brains though

[@jojolovespie123]

If you hold a tiny one their so cute and squishy!!!

[@clockworktim]

When NASA finally gets around to sending a robot submarine to the ocean of Europa orbiting Jupiter, and drills in to descend beneath the surface, this- or something like it- is what they will find.

[@MegaShadower]

nice jelly fish....i woud run like crap if i was there cuz im scared of em:S

[@Cfreezin]

@rouenwolf Actually its not that dangerous to humans, if you're very unlucky you can die but it isn't anything like the Box Jelly.

[@LeFreakSoChic]

Beautiful yet deadly.

[@spunkykite]

I think I may have in irrational fear of these things, big or small!!!

[@Krodestrah]

great, my biggest phobia, jumbo sized

[@Desiderium]

I seriously doubt this one's sting isn't lethal LOL.

[@0megaAres]

LOL Nice...Im behind you on this 1.

[@zacefros1]

omg so big swim away dude!!!!!! any way the other jellyfish a beutiful

[@longman718]

Oh my god, that is preety interesting.

[@blakan3]

Touching the top of his head won't trigger anything. Touching one of its tails is the only dangerous part.

[@SS_Joker_88-18]

damn that's one hell of a big jellyfish

[@Thomas55Pham]

well who wouldnt think that :D I got burning by a jellyfish on my arm and my toe. it hurts like hell at first.

[@Charliecopperfield]

Jellyfish are colonies of smaller organisms. What you see is only a vessel..

[@agentfaffy]

how does it feel? I know a kid who got sick welts on his thigh and he said it felt like needles poking him.

[@blacklotus808]

Hay I found one of those at the end of my garden the other day, I feed it next doors cat, it went mental and proceeded to start eating random people in my local town, it was a messy business when the government sent in the swat team to take it down it's a long story but, it retreated in to the sewers and was never seen again, Just kidding.... What actually happened was I found it at the end of my garden and we started ripping bongs and getting real high, I can't remember much after that....

[@1CSeth1]

id piss myself if that thing came towards me

[@kikilikipikiwiki]

shit imagine being caught in the tentacles of that thing 0.0

[@xa-xii4865]

Thiccccccccccccc jellyfish

[@Bearswin8584]

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!! if i saw that i would bust ass to the surface

[@bearllubub]

Creepy, scary, cool!

[@IvynTaasin]

wow... thats amazing!

[@babydoll12912]

I would be so freaked out to be that close to it!!

[@ToLazyToEdit]

if i saw one of those things, i think i'd shit my pants.

[@tylerpestell]

Why is that I am more afraid of jellyfish than sharks?

[@KawasakiFreaks]

is it me or..... you totally want to jump on the top of it like a trampoline :o

[@OriginalShadowZero]

@natb72 there is an antidote for that jellyfish but for a really small jellyfish called irukandji also known as box jellyfish and the sea wasp (also box jellyfish) that is most lethat is the won with the giant tentacules

[@the1randomdud3]

I shall call him squishy and he shall be my squishy

[@VeliOlavi]

Then you can call me Sir John Holmes....;D

[@Ipcow23]

Imagine being stuck in the tenticals

[@tekkenhalo]

Does anyone else feel the need to jump inside of the ocean and chop that jellyfish up with a Katana?

[@mic300391]

that's one big swimming mushroom..

[@Bobela98]

Am i the only one who is disturbed by this!?

[@MegaShadower]

one of the worst thing could happens is...well lets say ur in the sea and then a giant jellyfish like that is right in front of you and you say lol what a big jellyfish and then just about to get in boat and when u turn around the same jellyfish man i wonder hwo it will hurt o.o

[@theduffstersk8s]

why are human beings reactions to the unknown always "if i see that, ill kill it"? the jelly fish is alive, and its a creature, whos appearance may be scary, but its just trying to live it life

[@rickygervais1776]

Oh, man, that could make me puke.

[@DarkKnight1408]

amazing!! Dude in touchin the jellyfish I suggest ya'll don't do that again cuz u know jellyfish sting right?5000/5

[@carnifexalpha]

These jellyfish have become a real problem in Japanese fishing waters, because they're breading like wild fire. Seriously.

[@bakismaki]

Man that is disgusting. It looks like an alien.

[@xspeardkx]

its amazing as it has no brains but have eyes!

[@zozajiek]

Its Cute! :D

[@MisterHeroman]

@roydamanna "nearly all humans but you" and "don't ever blame nature" parts are bullshit but aside from that you make good points.

[@kamikazi4u]

@MusiCandConversE LMFAO! Nice one! My god, you cracked me up, I am already sick enough and don't want to kill my self laughing so hard.
