those crazy sea-jellies


So what is happening in jellyfish this week? Some crazy shit, that's what. Tasmanian scientists found this guy in the Derwent River. He represents a whole new species, a whole new genus, and a whole new family of jellyfish. He's called Csiro Medusa Medeoplis. It means "city of gonads".

He's harmless, though. Read more here.

Ocean, you just keep getting better.
