Jelly and I scream: The jellyfish is beautiful, but deadly

Russian biologist Alexander Semenov's 'Underwater Experiments' series follows the colourful and majestic beauty of the lion's mane jellyfish ('Cyanea capillata')

T lion's mane jellyfish is the largest (known) species of jellyfish in the world - and has been seen to grow seven feet in length

The creatures journey through the icy chills off the northwestern coast on Russia, captured during Semenov's dives

The purple head of the jellyfish mane is surrounded by the whispering tentacles, which hunt the water for suitable plankton

Larger creatures take on the purplish-colour, whereas younger animals take a lighter orange colour

One of the lion's mane jellyfish comes up to the surface: In general the jellyfish remain within 20 metres of the surface

Although these jellyfish pack a sting, generally they just cause a swelling pain their stings stings are not generally known to be fatal
