which is the lion's mane jellyfish's species within its genus
C. capillata capillata Cyanea capillata
title: Lion's mane jellyfish text: Lion's mane jellyfish The lion's mane jellyfish, also known as the giant jellyfish or the hair jelly, is the largest known species of jellyfish. Its range is confined to cold, boreal waters of the Arctic, northern Atlantic, and northern Pacific Oceans. It is common in the English Channel, Irish Sea, North Sea, and in western Scandinavian waters south to Kattegat and Øresund. It may also drift into the southwestern part of the Baltic Sea (where it cannot breed due to the low salinity). Similar jellyfish – which may be the same species – are known to inhabit seas near Australia title: Lion's mane jellyfish text: and New Zealand. The largest recorded specimen, found washed up on the shore of Massachusetts Bay in 1870, had a bell with a diameter of and tentacles long. Lion's mane jellyfish have been observed below 42°N latitude for some time in the larger bays of the east coast of the United States. The lion's mane jellyfish uses its stinging tentacles to capture, pull in, and eat prey such as fish, sea creatures, and smaller jellyfish. The taxonomy of the "Cyanea" species is not fully agreed upon; some zoologists have suggested that all species within the genus should be treated as title: Lion's mane jellyfish text: one. Two distinct taxa, however, occur together in at least the eastern North Atlantic, with the blue jellyfish ("Cyanea lamarckii" Péron & Lesueur, 1810) differing in color (blue, not red) and smaller size (10–20 cm diameter, rarely 35 cm). Populations in the western Pacific around Japan are sometimes distinguished as "Cyanea nozakii", or as a subspecies, "C. c. nozakii". In 2015, Russian researchers announced a possible sister species, "Cyanea tzetlinii" found in the White Sea, but this has not yet been recognized by other authoritative databases such as WoRMS or ITIS. Lion's mane jellyfish ("Cyanea capillata") are named for their title: Cyanea (jellyfish) text: Cyanea (jellyfish) Cyanea is a cosmopolitan genus of stinging jellyfish, primarily found in northern waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The same genus name has been given to a genus of plants of the Hawaiian lobelioids, an example of a "parahomonym" (same name, different kingdom). The taxonomy of "Cyanea" species is not fully agreed upon. Some zoologists have suggested that all species within the genus should be treated as one. However, in the North Sea at least, the lion's mane jellyfish and the blue jellyfish appear as distinct species. "Cyanea" may be a species complex of recently diverged species. title: Cyanea (jellyfish) text: Cyanea (jellyfish) Cyanea is a cosmopolitan genus of stinging jellyfish, primarily found in northern waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
