The Phantoms of the Deep exhibit has several interesting areas to explore. Perhaps the most interesting is the Sting-O-Meter, Leidy's Comb Jellya safe way to see how it feels to be stung by the tentacles of different jellyfish species. The Plankton Station will teach you about jellies favorite meal and the By the Wind Sailor shows how this species uses surface winds to move on the ocean surface. The insides and make up of jellyfish are shown in Bubble Trouble, a replica of a jellyfish. Every day visitors can play Jelly Jeopardy with questions about how jellies live, eat and survive in the world's oceans. Jelly Jeopardy lasts 20 minutes and is held in the Marine Life Theater for the entire summer. Two-hour preschool programs are available title Jiggling Jellies to teach four and five year old children about jellyfish. Each Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacificclass offers the chance to touch live marine creatures, a craft project and story time. Cost is $18 per child

California sea lions prefer to breed on sandy beaches in the southern part of their range. They usually stay no more than 10 miles out to sea. On warm days they stay close to the water's edge. At night or on cool days, the sea lions will move inland or up coastal slopes. Outside of the breeding season they will often gather at marinas and wharfs, and may even be seen on navigational buoys. These man-made environments provide safety from their natural predators - orcas and white sharks.

apparently escaping in large enough numbers to thrive.
"This fish was not around in the 1980s, nd they are now breeding from Florida to North Carolina."
Rising seas will also have cascading effects on fish habitat, explains Rader. In North Carolina sea level has risen by slightly more than one foot since the 1920s, a rate of 1.5 feet per century. Scientists say the rate will double within a century. As seas rise, more salt water will penetrate fresh and brackish sounds. It will convert freshwater into brackish water, and brackish marsh into salt marsh. It will also "drown" some marshes that can't keep up with the rising waters.

The lion's mane jellyfish ranges from the Arctic to Mexico. The largest of all jellyfish species, in Arctic waters its bell can reach 8 feet with tentacles trailing up to 100 feet long. Juveniles are pink, turning red as they mature into reddish brown or purple adults. The largest documented specimen found in Puget Sound was found beached on Whidbey Island ( in 1998 ) and measured 5 feet across the bell.
Like all jellyfish, the lion's mane rides the ocean currents, pulsing its bell to force water out of the bell and push itself in the opposite direction to the current. Its life cycle goes through five stages, including two distinct body shapes (medusa and polyp). During the benthic, or bottom-dwelling stage, they attach to a surface — wood or stone are favorites — feeding with tiny tentacles and cloning new jellies. A single colony of jellyfish can be traced back to a polyp that may have first cloned itself hundreds of years before. Any piling in Puget Sound clothed with what looks like small white polyps may be in fact paved with the polyps of jellies.
In April, bottom-dwelling jelly polyps bud off tiny, baby jellyfish. By July, the juveniles have grown to the adult gobs we know so well. Adult males then release sperm into the water, where it is gathered by females that brood the eggs internally, then release them as ciliated beings no bigger than the head of a pin. These drift to the bottom, where they attach, and begin the life cycle anew.
Most adults die by October, victims of bacterial infection, depleted plankton supplies and the appetites of fish and other predators. Lions Mane Jellyfish typically feed on tiny crustaceans, zooplankton, small fish and moon jellies.

The venom in the nematocysts of the Lion’s Mane is a powerful neurotoxin. If a human were to get stung enough, it could be fatal, provided sufficient poison had been absorbed by the body. The venom can cause paralysis of the breathing muscles, effectively suffocating the victim. More common for divers is welt-like stings across the top of the upper lip (one of the few areas we have exposed). These small stings can be equated to a bee sting (applying vinegar with a q-tip will provide immediate relief). The stinging cells ( nematocysts ) in the tentacles can actually live for months after they are detached from the Jellyfish ( often chopped up by a boat propeller or current ). These are culprits that most often sting divers, who didn’t even see the small floating tentacle. Do try to avoid doing the full face plant into a live Lion’s Mane, which could be very painful.

Lions are fierce animals, being referred to as the ’king of the jungle’ by people. They were used to kill Christians by the thousand during a part of the Roman Empire before many converted to a false Christianity. Find out how much you know about what part lions played in the holy scriptures by taking the following really quick quiz below.

You don’t have to go to Africa for this African Safari. It’s only a 20-minute drive from Disneyland—I mean, Yesterland. Lion Country Safari is 40 miles from Downtown Los Angeles or 64 miles from Downtown San Diego, according to the brochure. Just head down the San Diego Freeway to the Moultlon Parkway offramp, right on the Irvine Ranch in Orange, County, California.
