Giant Jellyfish
How cool is this: Giant Jellyfish Invade Japan
"Since last summer, Japanese waters have been inundated with the massive sea creatures, which can grow 6.5 feet (2 meters) wide and weigh up to 450 pounds (220 kilograms).
Though the jellyfish are more common in Chinese and Korean waters, their numbers have grown a hundredfold in some areas off Japan, causing a crisis in the local fishing industry."

Beauty? They weight 100 pound and 6 feet high. They rip fishermen's nets and threaten fishing industry in Japan. Think twice before you say "wow, Such beauty"...
Look up why they thrive.
