We all know, and some of us may have been bitten by, jellyfishes. But something unbelievable happened at the coast of China and north- south Korea. GIANT JELLYFISHES WERE FOUND! Divers first saw them and it was something that nobody could believe. Those "small" jellyfishes weigh  450 pounds, just like a female lion. That is actually the reason that fishers' nets break. Because of the weigh. They actually poisson other fishes so fishers can't sell them. They are trying to invent some nets that will keep them away. Another thought is to  sell them so people can actually eat them. Scientists believe that they came so close to the coats because they have food to eat because they are not a lot of fishers to take the fishes.
I chose this article because the photo grabbed my attention. Searching through a lot of sites it was the only one that interested me. I learned that those kind of jellyfishes when they are born they are like a grain but after six months those babies become like washing machines. I really agree with the author and those fishes may destroy peoples' boats or nets. They are kind of dangerous creatures. I  definitely believe this article because they had a photo of a diver and the jellyfish and because we can trust this website.
