Summary edit
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Love the distinct shape and pronounced medusae of the Pacific Sea Nettle. And yes, these chaps can sting. Chrysaora fuscescens is commonly found along the coasts of California and Oregon, though some reside in the waters north to the Gulf of Alaska, west to the seas around Japan and south to the Baja Peninsula. The populations reach their peak during the late summer. In common with other cnidaria, Chrysaora fuscescens are carnivorous animals. They catch their prey by means of cnidocyst (or nematocyst) -laden tentacles that hang down in the water. The toxins in their nematocysts are effective against both their prey and humans, though it is typically nonlethal to the latter. One more picture with additional notes appears immediately after this (see next picture). More pictures and information featured in preceding images in this album. (Toronto, Canada, Nov.2015) |
