This species is reported to have up to 1,200 tentacles and sometimes grows larger than the blue whale, which is known to be the largest whale in the world.

However, this jellyfish can also harm humans. In 2010, about 150 people became victims of a mass sting by a lion’s mane jellyfish in New Hampshire, United States.
