30 Days Wild 2019 – Day Thirty

twt-30-days-wild_countdown_30 Day 30: For the last day of 2019’s 30 Days Wild, we headed to the beach.

Formby Beach is a firm favourite of ours, so we decided to share it with my visiting friend, Jennifer who also happens to be a Riley fan! While throwing the ball for Riley to chase, we came across beached jellyfish. I think they were two types. Correct me if I am wrong!

Barrel Jellyfish

Lion’s Mane Jellyfish

Barrel Jellyfish:

Is the UK’s largest jellyfish
Has eight frilly tentacles
Their sting is still potent when dead
Attracted to plankton blooms

Lion’s Mane Jellyfish:

Lives in the North Atlantic
Glows in the dark
Is 95% water
Has tentacles that can grow to 120 feet

Have you seen any jellyfish? If so what type?

Thanks for reading, and stay wild!

Wow! Love those jellyfish pics. Whilst in Ravenglass Hugo actually started rolling in what I think was a moon jellyfish. 😦 A dead one luckily. In Scotland in the outer Hebrides last year we did see Lions Manes, compass jellyfish ( very like lions Manes but smaller) and little purple blue ones called By the Wind sailors. That is my total tally of jellyfish spots. X
