I thought they were broken bottles 🤣
They would probably feel like broken bottles if you stepped on them.
That’s what I thought. I’m sitting here looking for them and they’re right in my face 😂😂😂
In South Africa we call these Blue Bottles … super painful sting!
Beat me to it! 😉
We got them in Australia too lol
Yip... Blou Blasies...
beware of the BLOB,
Don't walk..Run!
Is this news?
This happens every year....
They're jellyfish. don't touch them
Hahahaha YAHOOOOOOOOO
What about accidental touches? And do they feel stressed if they don’t get enough sleep?
@@perz400No but you would be the one stressed after you wake up in a hospital and presented with the hospital bill
They aren’t jellyfish
@Romy16. tomatoe/ tomato it's jelly like so it's a jelly fish
Case closed
Blue bottles we get them in Australia all time
Wowie. Can we please get more segments with Jessica. I learned so much about the ocean with this segment alone.
Just image this Jessica Rodriguez taking off her nerdy glasses and dressing hot. She would look amazing!
@@davidr4523 Bruh. You just took it another level and made it creepy.
Take a shower @@davidr4523
I'm going to Google her name and find her without waiting for others so thought I'd share the idea with you. 😊
Blue Bottles we call them in Australia but ours sting
The ones here in Florida sting also. I’m sure they all do. They look identical.
They're jellyfish and that happens every year, I saw it happen a few times when I lived near San Francisco.
In santa barbara in earlyy sixties used to call blue jellies floating on top by swimmers emperors also men of wars
A man of war is not tiny like these... They're big and have tentacles that stretch like 10 feet...
Better than hypodermic needles 😅
Someone lost there implants
😂
😂😂😂
😂🤣
Thats Freaking Hilarious! I'm Rolling!
@@lindaadelwerth8042 😂😂 😂😂
The diversity of life is astounding, we're still finding new species every day.
it is NOT a new species…actually its ancient.
@@1timeslime971 thank you captain pedantry.
These are pretty small, about 1 inch long by 1 inch high. If you sail offshore, you'll see them from time to time. On one sail to Hawaii, I saw a patch of 10-15 miles of them. There must have been multiple millions of them.
We have those in Hawaii and we call them, Portuguese Man O’War. They sting so don’t touch!
Oh.. they are literally all over Rosarito Beaches right now.. I was wondering what they were. Not curious enough to touch them though.
I thought they were condoms last sat lmao
Try wearing it
They’re jellyfish and I got stung by them as a teenager in Mazatlan in 1970.
siphonophore: a colony of specialized creatures, amazingly !??
they're related to jellyfish
@@capslock4959
"Jellyfish are single organisms that are free swimming and capable of moving themselves through water. Siphonophores are a colony of single celled organisms and are ocean drifters, incapable of moving through the water on their own. The single celled organisms that make up these colonies are so dependent on one another that most can’t survive alone. "
@@capslock4959 all I know is that I tried to make it home about three blocks from the beach. They came and got me in a car because I couldn’t walk. My legs were paralyzed and rubbery. There were so many of them.
Same thing happened to me in Lima, Peru in 1904.
We just saw these on the camp coastlines of catalina / two harbors
Put them backkk😢😢 help
They would just wash back up unfortunately. Look a little like man o wars but they are apparently related
We didn't always have a earthquake every time it rains or fissures across Arizona.
Man o' war jellyfish probably
Velella velella.
@stawksop The MOW isn't a jellyfish, and these (Aelella velella) are neither. She explains it barely 90 seconds in.
Here in South Africa we call them Blue Bottles. They have very long tentacles and they sting like hell. Don’t swim when they are washing ashore.
Put them all over your face…it’s the Malibu facelift.
😂😂😂😂
Did Michael Moore take a swim in the ocean again?
I went to Dana Point yesterday & there were thousands of them
god if i ever saw these colonies of jelly on a normal tuesday id freak the hell out 😭
These "blue bottles" give a painful sting. Trust me. Just stay clear of the tentacles.
But this segment was very interesting. I had no idea they were a kind of man-o-war, nor did i know that they actually aren't really jellyfish! Wow!
“MAN-O-WAR!!!” 😂
I feel like I've seen slews like this roughly all the time, perhaps limited to certain hours of day, all allong the California coastline. That said, I never recall any sort of "sail like structure" but I've gotten stinger impressions from far away..
Also, video description goes against video footage meaning.
Not the first time this has been in the news.
Sea creatures 😁 In Australia we call them Blue bottles! They are common. Don't touch them & if you do, pour vinegar over it to help with the sting.
Never use vinegar. It causes the sting to discharge even more. Use hot but not scolding water.
Yes, the lifeguards usually have the vinegar. But the sting...ouch!
@@starspark9471 lifeguards don't use vinegar. It causes more sting to be released from the barbs. Hot water is used.
Vinegar is used on tropical jellyfish only, not on bluebottles. It worsens the sting. Use hot water if available, otherwise cold or ice water.
@@churly9717 thanks for this. The lifeguard did give me vinegar after the tentacles were removed and the pain didn't go away that quickly. I didn't have access to hot water until I got home although I think I used cold water instead.
VERY normal here in Australia ,, onshore winds and we often see hundreds of those blue-bottles
Blue bottles, get millions of them on the beaches in Australia.
Give em a cuddle 😊
No, they’re related to them. They’re a different species.
Sounds like the sting from the poisonous Canadian snow frog. Only found on the prairies every fifth January.
They're here too in Santa Cruz, northern CA.
When they said blobs washed up on shore i assumed it was rhe cast of the view out for a swim.
Lololo
Same here in South Florida I seen tons of them on the beach two days ago
Do they have any uses
Happy face! Even the sail jellyfish want to escape the polluted water that lifeguards have to protect themselves from --- latest news.
Do they really "kinda" get blown around? What does blown around vs. Kinda blown around look like?
why is that lady smiling and laughing? its a sad day nothing funny about death
It’s nature. Get over it.
@@Paulabrahms daheck?
So were they all connected at one time and then got busted up once washed to shore?
We have these on Texas beaches. Don’t be fooled. They sting and it HURTS! When I was a child one wrapped its tentacles around my leg. I had huge whelps all around my leg. My grandmother rushed me back to our cottage and put me in the bathtub with some bleach water. It neutralizes the sting. Thank goodness!
They're like jellyfish and can sting. I've seen them on the shore in Mazatlan and San Blas for at least 5 decades.
In Hawaii we call them Portuguese Man of War. The sting is mean. I was surfing and had one go down my shorts. Ouch!
Been stung hard at Kealia multiple times, those little dots left on the skin get itchy too
So is it edible?
They're actually a delicacy in Asia.
@@sofa_kingcool985 what isn't?
Looks like broken glass/items
So are they just going to die there or what? What happens to them now 🤔
Yikes!! Looks like the Portugeuse Man O War in Hawaii😊
Beautiful but extremely venomous 😮
Not uncommon at all here in Fort Lauderdale.
Maybe 3 times a month, lasts a few days.
I’d guess the most you’d see is 5 in 100/200 feet. Noticeable, but not a nuisance at all.
I was todays years old when I found out their not Portuguese man o wars.
IDKSterling was here, you just doesn't know it yet 🎅🎅🎅🐡
@knuclear-😂😂😂
Ho ho ho .. no don't do it ....meow...I 💙 IDK puffer 🐠 gagging LMSAO. 😽🚬
@@shondrawhite9317 eh eh eh
They were just in Fort Lauderdale, Florida as well
Just a mild sting? Totally worth checking them out.
Nooooo! No, no, no, no, NOOO! Very sore!
I remember these last year
I thought it was broken glass bottles
Looks like blue bottles.
I have seen those several times in the Mediterranean coast
Are these irl slimes?
Those things are real dangerous and will sting you so be careful going in the waters
Damn Chip
They look like clams. Maybe they are edible.
They’re quite common in Florida.
Jessica Rodriquez is such a delight to listen to and learn from. I see her as a female Mr. Rogers which is lovely high praise.
It's blue bottles😂😂😂😂😂
Oh hell no…
Stingers, blue bottles we call them in Oz.
Very sad 😢
No strangeness here. I grew up with them here in South Africa. We call them "blue bottles". Sting like mad with those long, blue tentacles. Poisonous too. My sister was rushed to hospital when it went round her little body at the age of seven. She was allergic to it. Luckily she was OK.
Really.. lol😂it's called a jelly fish. 😂
It must smell really bad 😢
You think they don’t bathe and put on a deodorant?
I saw these yesterday on my beach
We see those in San Diego every spring!
I saw them on Half Moon bay beach a few weeks ago.
theyre blue bottles…ive seen them in Australia.
Not blue bottles?
yes they are. we australian call them BLUE BOTTLE. its painfull if toutched skin. can be treated by vinegar
@@colinm2585 yes!! I was stung on my calf and the pain traveled into my groin. I was stung when I was in bondi beach, I was rushed to lifeguard station and they put boiling hot water on my skin
Ever so often the ocean blows its nose 😊 but when it does you can eat it 😂
Very common down here in Australia
We call them blue bottles 😂
I'd rather know this than not, thank you.
I remember being 16 first time on plane. Went to miami. First time seeing ocean. It look like some blew bubbles with gum and spit it out. I was amazed n picked one up seeing it was a Lil jelly fish getting dried out. I went alone the Beach picking em up n throwing back in ocean. We didn't go I'm the water because we were afraid of sharks so when me and my little brother went back up to the hotel room my dad said he was thankful we were still alive he just saw on the news that there was a bunch of man a wars in the water🤦♀️ guess he was to busy to go down their n tell us😂
Call them Sea Creatures, (squirrels Forest Creatures) what you see are jellyfish skeletons. Bravo KTLA, you've woken the shut-ins and infirm who watch your show.
In Australia, the name 'Blue Bottle' is given to these or something very similar.
First time for me. Interesting 🧐
😢😢😢
These guys were all over the Oregon beaches like a month ago.
I was at monteray at the tide pools hundreds of them still alive in the pools
This is an alien invasion
They look like 'Blue Bottles'. Occasionally appear on Queensland, Aust' beaches.
Colonies of the hydrozoan velella. They're so beautiful! not self steering though, the wind 🌬️ moves them & the receding tide leaves them stranded. If you see them at the beach it's possible to save their lives by putting them back in the ocean, wear gloves 🧤.
I've been sayin' it. I've been sayin' it for 10 damn years.
Ain't I've been sayin' it!
As usual, o mom in Australia’s East coast. We get stung all the time when surfing among them 😢😅
Have them up in Monterey bay too
Can they be eaten?
Man o war jellyfish. They sting real hard from the tentacles ..Even can sting you after they're ded
Ocean got a broken update
They sting, ouch
Someday..humans will be the strange blob like things washing up on a distant planets shore.. thanks Elon!
Common blue bottles. We get them 8n south Africa. Their sting is very painful.
Oooouuuuccch my feet hurt looking at it
Those r called blue bottles..ifu step on 1, yr foot feels like its on fire
