Cyanea capillata, commonly known as the lion's mane jellyfish, is a large species of jellyfish found in colder waters, particularly in the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans. It is recognizable by its long, trailing tentacles and a bell that can reach up to 1.8 meters (6 feet) in diameter. This jellyfish is known for its bioluminescence and has stinging cells that can cause painful encounters with humans. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in marine ecosystems as both predator and prey.
