The Lion’s Mane Jellyfish is typically found in shallow water (less than 20 m deep) any heavily rely on the ocean currents to travel around. Because of this, people have a great chance to see these beautiful creatures, especially in the late summer and fall, as the large specimens get washed towards the shore. Of course, like other Jellyfish, you have to be careful of the tentacles. Although, the sting isn’t known to be fatal for healthy individuals, it is still going to hurt if you step on one of these incredibly long tentacles. The size of these Jellyfish does pose a problem as it is believed that a single Lion’s Mane Jellyfish that washed up on the shore of a New Hampshire beach in 2010 was responsible for stinging 150 people. I don’t know what the stinging record is for one Jellyfish but that has to be close.<\/p>\n
