Patrick Simmons+FollowRare Jellyfish Pops Up After 50 Years!Imagine just chilling on vacation and stumbling upon a jellyfish no one’s seen since the ‘70s! That’s exactly what happened to Neil Roberts in Scotland. He found a Depastrum cyathiforme, a species thought to be extinct. Scientists are freaking out (in a good way) and now want to search the area for more. It’s like finding a real-life sea ghost! Who knew rock pooling could make you famous? #Science #WildlifeWin #Jellyfish181Share
Tamara Jones+FollowJellyfish invasion shakes up Texas coastA surprising newcomer is making waves on the Texas coast: the Australian white-spotted jellyfish. While their sting is barely noticeable to humans, these jellyfish are causing big problems for local sea life by outcompeting shrimp and young fish for food. This could mean fewer catches for fishermen and even impact the local economy. Scientists think their arrival is linked to warming oceans and shifting currents, and they’re asking beachgoers to report any sightings. Some chefs are even turning these invaders into unique dishes! Have you spotted any unusual sea creatures lately? Let’s talk about how these changes might affect our community. #Science #TexasCoast #Jellyfish10Share
Michael Flores+FollowJellyfish Hit an Invisible Ocean Wall?!Get this: scientists just found a weird, invisible barrier deep in the Arctic Ocean that certain jellyfish literally won’t cross. Two types of the same jellyfish—one with a little knob on its head, one without—live on opposite sides of this line. Even though they’re basically twins genetically, only the knobless ones stay north of 47° latitude. No one knows what’s causing this deep-sea “no-go zone,” but it’s a total mystery and proof the ocean is still full of secrets! #Science #OceanMystery #Jellyfish302Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowJellyfish surprise at Presque IsleA rare freshwater jellyfish just made a surprise appearance at Presque Isle State Park’s Marina Lake, and it’s got everyone talking. These tiny creatures usually stay hidden as polyps on the lake bottom, but every once in a while, they transform into the classic jellyfish shape we all recognize. Thanks to a sharp-eyed intern from the Department of Environmental Protection, we get to see this unusual visitor up close. It’s not every day you spot something so unexpected in our local waters! Anyone else ever seen something this rare around here? #Science #PresqueIsle #Jellyfish10Share
