Really LONG...

What's the world's LONGEST LIVING THING?
That's a BIG title.
But, hey.
LONG doesn't mean big and heavy.


It's just a few kilograms.

So do you know what it is?


There are TWO answers.


But both of 'em are Jelly-Like.







Contestant No.1
Praya Dubia

This "alien" jellfish is the same as the Portuguese-Man-O-War
The tentacles that is.
But it has way more advanced options.













ATTACK, GUARD, STING, REORGANIZE and many more.
The length of this Jelly is...
40m-50m!!!
WOW. That's ginormocolossus.
It has another name called: The swimming bell.
(You could probably guess why)











Contestant 2.
Sun Jellyfish


They're so darn long cuz'
of their tentacles.
Their tentacles alone are 200 feet (around 30m) and even more!
The longest caught so far is 50m.
The biggest mystery for me is why it's called the "Sun Jellyfish"
Maybe the head looks like the Sun.




















OK. THIS IS THE TIME OF FATE...
Which one is the longest?

Sun Jellyfish...
Or Praya Dubia?
