Biologist Lizzie Daly encountered a barrel jellyfish while exploring the waters as a part of the “Wild Ocean Week”.

• The barrel jellyfish was at least 5 feet long.
• She had started a campaign called “Wild Ocean Week” to raise awareness about marine conservation, in Falmouth, Cornwall.
• Barrel jellyfish are the largest species of jellyfish found in British waters.
• It can have a diameter of up to 90cm and can weigh up to 35kg.
• They have eight arms, which are frilly in appearance. These frills contain their small stinging tentacles that surround hundreds of mouths and have a harmless sting.
• They feed on plankton (marine/ water organisms that are too small to swim in the water current) and are usually found in the summer and autumn months in the United Kingdom.
