'Twice as big as my feet': Large jellyfish washes up on Auckland beach
One of Aotearoa’s largest jellyfish species has washed up on an Auckland beach on Monday, leaving locals stunned at its “foot-sized” tentacles.
Takapuna local Ingrid, who did not want her last name used for privacy concerns, was out on a stroll along Takapuna beach when she came across the creature.
She said she instantly noticed its “massive” size, and fearing what it was, hastily got out of the water.
