A Pulsating, Alien-Looking Sea Creature Has Been Found on a Beach in New Zealand [View all]


It's mesmerising.

JACINTA BOWLER 19 SEP 2018



On Monday, a New Zealand family were just walking along a Northern Auckland beach when they stumbled across a bizarre, pink-colour blob that resembled a volcano shape.

The creature, which turned out to be a species of huge jellyfish, has a white segmented outer body, with a colourful red inside, and looks just a bit like a really squishy alien.

"[Jellyfish] were everywhere and we were pretty amazed. Then we saw this massive one that seemed different from all of the others," Eve Dickinson explained to Auckland Now.

"We spent ages looking at it because of its beautiful colours and shape. My boy said it reminded him of a volcano."
