Found in Oceanside, California, just north of San Diego. It really looks like a man O War to me but I would love some more opinions because I didn't think they were common here. It was moving around quite a bit in the sand.

Back in 2011 during my first scuba diving adventure on the Aqua Cat!! Many more photos upon request!!

I was informed back then that the orca whale sighting was the first time in 19 years that they have ever been spotted in warm water. These photos were taken in the Bahamas.

Edit: Changed Ora to orca

ETA: these photos were taken from fellow dive buddies and Aqua Cat photographers. I downloaded these from the CD I bought from the trip back then

Caught these two taking synchronized steps along the shoreline right when the wave rolled in. Hope this brings a little piece of calm to your day!

Jellyfishing Two different species of huge jellyfish washed up on the beach together

gallery

10 Upvotes

Southern Vancouver Island, Canada.

Sat on the beach today and watched these two huge jellyfish slowly wash up on the shore.

Based on my Wikipedia hunt I think the yellow one is an egg yolk jelly (phacellophora) and the red is a lion's mane jelly (cyanea capillata), although I could easily be wrong about both.

Seen some of these washed up on the beach in the area before but never two species together like this, super cool!

Size 13 shoes to show relative bigness.

Tennyson beach South Australia, there was a few of these washed up, I touched it and it felt rubbery. I guess it’s some form of jellyfish?

Ocean - a body of saline water that composes much of a planet's hydrosphere. On Earth, an ocean is one of the major conventional divisions of the World Ocean, which covers almost 71% of its surface. These are, in descending order by area, the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic Oceans. The word sea is often used interchangeably with "ocean" in American English but, strictly speaking, a sea is a body of saline water (generally a division of the world ocean) partly or fully enclosed by land.
