Lion’s mane jellyfish — size comparison — facts and sources
The lion’s mane jellyfish inhabits cold Northern Hemisphere seas. Its broad bell has eight distinct lobes, with numerous fine tentacles hanging below. In water they form an extensive curtain much longer than the bell itself.
Stinging cells cover the tentacles and capture small animals. Bell contractions drive swimming, but currents strongly influence travel direction. Seasonal conditions may produce many individuals in one place. Tentacle reach permits feeding beyond the body’s immediate surroundings.
