Jellyfishby ~GuineaPigDan

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Aquatic Life

A photo from a visit to the California Academy of Science months ago. I think these orange jellyfish are called sea nettle (or chrysaora, for you biological classification nerds out there).

I feel a little unsettled around jellyfish, even if they're in aquariums. When I was 5 or 6, my family took a vacation to Hawaii and I loved going to the beach. However one day while running thru the water, I suddenly felt a burning pain across the back of my neck. I got out of the water and told my parents that I was hurting, and from what I was describing they guessed that a jellyfish that was floating in the water had stung me across my neck. Thankfully though the sting didn't come from a jellyfish that was deadly, and with the help of some medicine my parents gave me, the pain went away in several days. Since then I try to be more cautious on beaches.

Before anyone mentions it, yes, I have heard about how peeing on a jellyfish sting will supposedly reduce the pain. There are some science articles that dispute this though. [link]

I think there are some ordinary people who would disagree with that last statement as well. XD Oh well, at least there were loads of fun in Finding Nemo!

Anyway, awesome photo, dude! They are pretty weird and cool looking, but yeah, they can be dangerous, so be careful!
