I might be wrong on this... but don't whales eat jellyfish? Karma's a bitch.

Yikes, they must be massive. Big enough to crush Tokyo?

They have over fished all the oceans of the world. When you do that you should expect nature to retaliate. I hope they're poisonous.

Sumo wrestler-sized jellyfish? And I complain when I swim across the tiny ones! What has happened to the sea turtle population to have such an imbalance?

Sunfish and loggerhead sea turtles eat jellyfish, if we let them live.

Given their wanton destruction of whales and dolphins for starters, I figure they're in line for "Invasion from the Sea" ....
Bon appetit!

When I had my sail boat at Marina Del Rey we had the same thing there. I thought about it and sensed they were running from something, not attacking.

Help them.

There was a special on Jellyfish invasions on Animal Planet i believe. Pretty interesting, especially the box jellyfish, you could be dead within three minutes of it stinging you.
Its a little strange how we (humans) are at the top of the food chain on land, but in the water its a different story. We know so little about the oceans, and I think we've only seen Giant squid alive once or twice
There is a type of jellyfish out there that reverts to different stages in its life where it can theoretically live forever

I hate jelly fish. I absolutely hate them. If I'm in the water and I get eaten by a shark, more power to that shark. He put in the effort and thus deserves to eat me. However, if I get stung by a jellyfish, it is because he freaking accidentally bumped into me or he was hidden by the sand. I hate jellyfish.

I hope Argentine ants develop a taste for them a rid the world of these lazy menaces.

Lazy menaces! Hilarious! I got stung by a couple little ones recently. Very little pain in intensity or duration, but what a P in the A they are. Lazy menaces. I'm going to remember that.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. The jellyfish won't even eat you, it would just "swim" away like the grocery bag with poison it is.
