A massive 5-foot-wide jellyfish was spotted at a Maine beach over the weekend, and officials are warning swimmers to be careful of its sting.
The lion’s mane jellyfish was seen near the shore at Willard Beach in South Portland. City officials warned swimmers not to touch the jellyfish if they see it, as they sting, but to instead observe it from a distance. And if they notice one washed ashore, notify a lifeguard so they can help it back into the water with a shovel.
