Eat your [jelly] fish



Ooooooooarrrrrrrrrrghhaaaaaaahhhhh!!!

Perhaps the most frightening thing about this image [apart from the fact that it's real and wasn't created by the art department who worked on Alien vs. Predator] is that this jellyfish - known as the Turritopsis Nutricula - is completely and utterly immortal.

Says The Telegraph, "The Turritopsis Nutricula is able to revert back to a juvenile form once it mates after becoming sexually mature."

Oh. And,

According to Dr Maria Miglietta's interview with the Telegraph: "We are looking at a worldwide silent invasion."

Yep.

Couldn't we be taken over by something more cute?
