Meet the Cephea cephea, sometimes called the cauliflower #jellyfish because of its resemblance to the vegetable. It can reach ~20 in (51 cm) in diameter! #DYK? The bodies of jellyfish are more than 95 percent water!

‘About the size of a dumpling, the southern dumpling or bobtail squid are treasured photography subjects. These nocturnal creatures emerge cloaked in vivid colours as if wearing shimmering eye makeup. Usually timid, they tend to hide when seen. This one however, affectionately named Priscilla, happily lingered, posing for a photoshoot.’ Gadigal country, Sydney, New South Wales.

‘Vertical migrations are some of the most remarkable in the world. Billions of animals hide in deep waters and then travel to the surface at night to feed under the cover of darkness. This paper nautilus hitched a ride on a passing jellyfish – a truly unique and magical encounter on one of the world’s greatest vertical currents.’ Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

BBC: Jellyfish swarm forces French nuclear plant to shut
Nuclear jellyfish, swimming around
Said, mon amie! we'll shut the nuke plant down
Come my partisans, let us invade
No more power for the entire town!
One for all, all for one
A jellyfish's life is short
Let's clog up those nuclear power plant filters
Make the BBC report
They may sell nuclear power as green
But the radioactive waste they ignore
We'll make them stop everything
When will the humans ever learn? Zut alors!

Electricite de France was forced to shut four atomic reactors after jellyfish clogged up filter drums at its Gravelines power plant. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/12/world/science-health/jellyfish-france-nuclear-heat-wave/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #sciencehealth #jellyfish #heatwaves #france #nuclearpower #climatechange
Four reactors at France's Gravelines nuclear plant have been forced to shut down because of a surge of jellyfish that clogged the cooling system. The plant uses water from a canal connected to the North Sea, which has a growing jellyfish population due to warming seas. Gravelines is one of France's largest nuclear facilities. EDF, the plant operator, says that the facility is undamaged but will need to be cleaned.
