A giant jellyfish of the size of a human has been spotted off the south-western coast of England. The mesmerizing creature - a barrel jellyfish - was discovered near Falmouth by broadcaster and biologist Lizzie Daly. Barrel jellyfish are touted to be the largest species of jellyfish in British seas but is very rare to find in such a huge size. They generally grow up to one meter (3.2 feet) and weight up to 25kg.
