A bloom of jellyfish washed up on a Welsh beach has sent shivers through locals, with one being so big it was mistaken for an Octopus. Startled walkers came across the stranded creature on the Dyfi estuary foreshore at Aberdyfi, Gwynedd reports North Wales Live.
Three similar but smaller jellyfish were also found nearby on the coast, prompting a mix of dread and fascination from people in the area as well as those planning a visit. When local resident Steve Bowers shared a photo of the jellyfish on social media, one visitor planning a trip said “I’m cancelling!!!!” while another woman said: “Omg! Now that’s put me off ever going back in the water here again!!!!”.
Rubbing his eyes at the size of the creature, one man confessed he initially thought it was an octopus. Similarly stunned was a woman who said: “Wow! That’s awesome! Certainly getting bigger here and in Tywyn.”
