Did you know that bobcat is named for its tail, which appears to be cut or “bobbed."?
I live on the water, Cheaspeake Bay at Chester river and saw for the first time a jelly fish ? dark in color on the top approx: 4" across the top with rather long Tentacles and many small ones on 3/15/18. What is the name of this one? Rather early for jellyfish.
this is my first time seeing a lions' mane jellyfish, and boy are they cute!
Just saw 6 small lions mane jelly fish in the bay at Saunders Point. They had orange/tan centers and short streamers. I had never heard of a winter jelly fish until I googled to your site.
I saw for the first time in 50 years on the Bay what I figure was the Lion's Mane Jellyfish. How spectacular--of course I didn't even have my cell phone/camera with me. The bell was more pink than the one in the photo, but at least 6" across. The tentacles were short, but I imagine that was due to its being in only 10" of water near the shore. It was alive and pulsing strongly. I hope to see one again!
i love the pictures of the animals of the Chesapeake Bay and they are so awesome to look and i was wonding if u can email back with more pictures of the animals in the Chesapeake Bay
thank u so much
