Giant jellyfish one METRE wide washes up on Dorset beach - and experts say there could be more
The huge barrel jellyfish washed up in Portland, Dorset, this week, and is thought to be one of the biggest of its kind to ever appear on British shores
A stunned beachgoer had to tread carefully after finding this enormous one METRE-wide jellyfish on a British coastline.
The huge barrel jellyfish washed up in Portland, Dorset, this week, and is thought to be one of the biggest of its kind to ever appear on British shores.
Warmer-than-average weather which is expected in the UK in the next few weeks could bring more of the super-sized sea creatures.
Suzanne Sheldon, 48, found the monster jellyfish while walking her dog on the quite beach.
She said: 'It was at least three feet in width and was very bulky too. It was the largest jellyfish I have ever seen.'
Experts are now warning British beachgoers about the dangers of jellyfish.
Richard Harrington from the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) said: 'This predicted hot weather to come can mean that even more jellyfish are likely to wash up or be in the seas around places like the west Country.'
Forecasters say high pressure which will take hold in May will send UK temperatures well over 20C.
