Which description best identifies the lion's mane jellyfish?

• A. Large, reddish, long tentacles
• B. Small, clear body with short tentacles
• C. Bright orange, spherical body
• D. Dull grey, with bushy fringe

Answer: (A)

The lion’s mane jellyfish is famous for its massive size and its extremely long, hair-like tentacles that trail behind the bell, giving it a mane-like appearance. It’s typically reddish-brown in color, and the tentacles can be very long, sometimes stretching far from the body. So a description that says a large, reddish jelly with long tentacles matches this species best. The other options describe jellyfish with smaller bodies, clearer coloration, or only short tentacles, which don’t align with the lion’s mane’s distinctive long tentacles and big size.
