Today is the one-year anniversary of our campaign to protect the High Seas, and nearly 60,000 people have signed the petition so far 🌊 🙌 The lion’s mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata) is mostly found in the High Seas. With hair-like tentacles streaming from its voluminous bell-shaped body, it’s easy to see how the lion’s mane jellyfish got its common name. At up to 120 feet long, the sea jelly’s tentacles rival the size of a blue whale! Like all jellyfish, it has no brain, blood, or nervous system, but is bioluminescent and glows brilliant colors in the dark. For a few lucky species that are immune to its sting — including the medusafish, butterfish, and harverstfish — the lion’s mane jellyfish acts as a floating oasis, providing both food and protection.
