Giant jelly fish, believe it or not thousands of jellyfish measuring up to half a metre in length have been found on beaches in Scotland, thanks to the recent rise in sea temperatures which are currently two degrees above normal. Specimens are growing to their full growth potential. "The hot summer weather has also fuelled the growth of the lion's mane jellyfish, the largest to visit UK shores. The tentacles of the lion's mane jellyfish, which is easily identified by its ragged edges, carry a nasty sting which can leave unsuspecting swimmers in pain for hours."
