Giant
jellyfish found on Australia beach
Scientists in Australia are working to classify a new
species of giant jellyfish that washed up on a beach in Tasmania. A family
found the 1.5m (5ft) jellyfish on a beach south of Hobart last month. Dr
Lisa-ann Gershwin, of Australia's CSIRO government agency, said that scientists
had known about the species for a while but had not yet classified it.She
described the specimen as a "truly magnificent animal".
Experts at the Commonwealth Scientific and
Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) were alerted to the discovery by
Josie Lim and her family, who came across it. "She and her children found
the jellyfish and took this amazing photo that just boggles the mind,"
jellyfish expert Dr Gershwin said.
