Multiple giant “alien” jellyfish have been found washed up on a British beach.
Joel Gabirel, an engineer and amateur photographer, shared pictures of the creatures after he stumbled across them while on holiday in Llandudno, Wales.
The 31-year-old was out for an early morning walk along the coast when the tide was out, when he spotted what he calls “danger pancakes” blending into the sand.

“Jellyfish are already dead by the time you find one,” he told Need To Know.
“They’re 95% water and dehydrate within minutes of washing ashore.
“They’re basically a digestive system with some tentacles.
“They don’t have a brain. But they can still sting.
“Seeing the jellyfish and their sizes really surprised me.”
Joel said he didn’t even spot the larger ones at first because he thought they were rocks.
And after sharing pictures of his fine online, he sparked a flurry of amazed commentary.
One user joked: “Free hats.”
Another added: “Jellyfish are so unsettling, as are mushrooms.
“I’m convinced they both must have arrived on a meteor or something.”
One person said: “In my experience, Wales is crazy for jellyfish.”
Another commenter wrote: “Christ, I didn’t realise we had jellyfish in the UK and that they can be so big and stingy!
“Adding this to the list of reasons I’m scared of the sea.”
Another joked: “I’m sorry, but that first one looks like a placenta.”
One person said: “Very cool, they’re so alien, but this is a major reason I stick to swimming in pools.”
