Title: Giant Jelly Shellyfish
Name: Danny Antivalidis
Country: Sweden
Software: Photoshop
The Shelly Jelly was rediscovered in 1982 by a team of german marine biologist in the Barrier Reef, just off the coast of Belize in the Caribbean (wich allso happen to be the largest reef in the Western hemisphere and the second largest in the world).
How it got there is unknown, nevertheless scientists claim that it developed the thick crusty armour do defend itself against the reefs and certain mythological predators that allso happen to dwell in this waters.
It is no longer known to “modern science”, but if you ever had the chance to ask someone from the native Arawak-speaking tribes, they would have told you that the Kuba-Walda, (which means "home spirit", or "water gnome", latin, unda gnomus), will sometimes build their house on the jellyfish shellroof, why? So that they can travel while they sleep.
The Shelly is allso one of the oldest creatures in existence and grow to be up to 500 years old.
C&C apreciated!
Thanks!
