Medusa Tsianeya is known and as hairy tsianeya and as the Arctic jellyfish. This being is the largest of all stsifoidny jellyfishes on Earth. It is widespread in the North Sea of Quiet and Atlantic oceans.
Instruction
1. Scientists assume that jellyfishes of a tsianea live and in warmer waters (for example, on coast of New Zealand and Australia), however the largest of these individuals meet in cold waters. It is reported that the value in 36.5 m was the maximum recorded length of tentacles of a tsianea. Diameter of a dome of this jellyfish was 2.3 m. Such vast object was found on the bank of North America in 1875. It is curious that this jellyfish was much longer than the largest animal on Earth – a blue whale. Zoologists consider that hairy tsiane in general can have a diameter of dome up to 2.5 m. Tentacles up to 20 m long and a dome reckon with diameter reaching 2 m as average indicators of the sizes of a huge tsianea. Also individuals length only 50-60 cm meet.
2. Tentacles of these jellyfishes sticky and diverse. They are grouped in 8 groups, each of which comprises from 60 to 150 tentacles which are rowed. The dome of a huge jellyfish of a tsianea also is divided into 8 parts, as makes it similar to an eight-pointed star. Scientists believe that coloring of a tsianea completely depends on its sizes. Quite large individuals are painted in violet or in bright pink colors, and those that it is less, have a subtle orange shade (or in general corporal color).
3. These creations breed in both the sexual, and sexless way (as polyps). The lion's share of the time of a tsianea is carried out in water blankets. They reduce the dome from time to time, doing by regional blades certain waves. Huge jellyfishes can be observed near coast at the end of summer – an early autumn when they grow to the maximum sizes.
4. Arctic tsianeya – the predator therefore always keeps the tentacles in readiness. She straightens them so that the dense lovchy network under a dome turned out. Hunts tsianeya inhabitants of the same seas. Tsianey plankton eats, but does not disdain also other jellyfishes. The huge jellyfish has very strong poison which is in tentacles and at once killing small marine animals (or doing considerable harm to larger catch).
5. By the way, for the person poison of the Arctic jellyfishes is not dangerous. The fact is that the sting of a tsianea cannot simply lead to the death of the person, however painful rashes on all body are not excluded. Also the toxins which are contained in poison of these jellyfishes can cause allergies. For objectivity It should be noted that one fatal case nevertheless was recorded.
