found this at jelly think its fake...but what you think [attachmentid=20243]

It's a cool pic though. Imagine bumping into one of those

holy sh**...také mushrooms

knew that was coming....lol

Actually this pic has been shown and discussed in the forums here somewhere. But yes it's real. They are giant jellyfish.

Are they really that big???

Actually, the picture is faked, take a look at the conflicting light sources... The light is shining on the jellyfish from the top right corner of the picture while light is shining on the guy from the opposite corner. Also, it's really obvious that the guy was cut out and pasted into that pic. Moreover if the jelleyfish was really that large, only part of it would be in focus, the tentacles receding into the distance would be blurry.
Jellyfish that large MAY exist... but this a not one of them.

Almost
LOL

OMG!!!!!
Put a saddle on him/her/it. I'm not ready for that jelly!!!

yep.... [attachmentid=20251]

Its harder to look at it when I've seen the original photo years ago.

While that pic may be fake, there are jellyfish that...well they may not get that wide, but they can be over 100 feet long...most of that length being there tentacles.

Also the diver's carbon dioxide bubbles are severely lacking.


Lapi'che

Your third guesse is correct. Jellyfish are booth male and female, I think. Whatever fancy name for that is.

That thing is huge!!! I would not go near one of those suckers.

I think those are called 'man-of-wars'

And I would not be caught swimming near it!

Whoa !!! i wonder what that thing feeds on....?

The word is hermaphrodite. If you value your sanity, don't google it with safesearch off.

Edit: This might be of interest. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_jellyfish

That is fake...the largest jellies have a bell no more than a couple feet in diameter...athough the tentacles can reach up to 100 feet....I think they are called Mane Jellies...

Lion Mane to be precise. Could be a real species of Jelly but that IT's not that big. Someone pasted that diver in there to make it look bigger in contrast.

Lion's Mane to be ridiculously precise.

Lol...I knew that was it!

i think its simply a freak of nature

It only looks tha big because it's close to the camera. There's no sure way of telling how far away that diver is.

That's a very good point. In fact, you're probably right.

actually dis one for sure is real, was on tv on national geographic or some sh**

I didn't say the photo wasn't real. I just can't tell how big it is compared to the diver. For all I know, the thing could be tiny.

While I dont think that the picture is real, I have no doubt that the oceans of the world are home to creatures of all sizes. Just because we havent seen it doesnt mean its not there! I must admit, that first one would be hard to miss!

The original photo, under my skepticism, is indeterminable.

"Conflicting Light Source": A jellyfish isn't opaque, nowhere near, the light can just as well shine through one.

The cut out effect: The photo was taken underwater, so those areas that look "cut out" may just be light refracting.

There are in fact CO2 bubbles, but they're VERY indistinct.

There's a line around the diver, that may suggest image editing, but could also be caused by the files format.


In the future, I'd suggest looking at your criticisms, trying as hard as you can to rationalive them, criticize the rationalized ones, then repeat. Then post ALL your findings. Being a skeptic means you look at all the evidence, not just the favorable pieces.

anyone notice the diver is a little more blurry than the jelly fish and also why is his head turning making it look like he is looking at the jellyfish from behind it... surely if there was a jelly fish that big in front of you youd want to keep your eyes right on it

The jellyfish is smaller than the wave at the top meaning its just way to close to the camera

...


there is a face in that pic, any one else spotted it?
Looks like some skull or something like that...

man dem suckers have big tenctices like cthulu

a jellyfish that large would not be efficient enough to survive anyway...

One Word: Faaaake.

There are some big jellyfish out there, in fact my 2nd cousin was stung by a man-of-war. I was horrible, it wrapped around her leg and stuck there.

I was scared outta my mind

That pic is fake. I've seen lots of jellyfish, and they sting bad :'(

This is funny, in a way. How big was that one on the first post? Big as a sumo wrestler?

*cries* I googled it with safesearch off... I'll never be the same again now...

They DO grow large, up to 500 lbs, but not that large...
