Encountering the 'red flying saucer', the father quickly took the child and ran as soon as he saw it move

While taking his wife and children to Little Manly beach in Auckland, New Zealand, Adam Dickinson's family encountered many strange objects that looked like alien "flying saucers" . According to Mr. Adam, they looked nothing like anything he had seen before. As he approached, he discovered that they were sea creatures.

This "flying saucer" creature has a fairly large size, about 1m in diameter, the middle of the body has many large purple bubbles, around the body there are many pink legs, below the legs there are many long beards. few meters.

Adam's children were curious about these creatures, to them they looked like giant pink jelly cubes. Adam is still very cautious with them, he tells the children to watch carefully to avoid danger. However, the eldest son also asked his parents to take pictures with them.

Suddenly, Adam saw the creature's entire body constrict, as if it was starting to move towards his son. Seeing that, Adam quickly picked up the two children and ran away from that place. Although he didn't know what creatures they were, he was worried that they could harm his children.

After returning home, Adam shared pictures of this strange creature with his friends. A friend of his, a marine biologist, said it was a type of jellyfish called the lion's mane jellyfish. They are the oldest jellyfish on Earth and also the largest of all known jellyfish species. There are even animals that are much larger than an adult human body.

The body of the lion's mane jellyfish is a soft, reddish-brown mass. They defend themselves by using long tassels to lash their opponents. When these tassels touch the human skin, they will form scar-like marks, and each of these spots will hurt like a needle in a nerve. The sting of the lion's mane jellyfish causes prolonged, severe pain that can be fatal.

They can eat everything from small fish to the white jellyfish Aurelia aurita. Because they are such voracious eaters, its body can grow to such a large size.

Lion's mane jellyfish usually live in cold water, north of the Arctic, north Atlantic Ocean, northern Pacific Ocean and are sometimes found in waters near Australia and New Zealand.

Receiving this information from his friend, Adam felt that he and his family were lucky not to accidentally touch their tentacles. Adam then shared this story on social media to raise awareness.
