Thanks @Mi-Amigo 

To be fair, I like Greek mythology so that was ok for me.

I could kick myself about the jellyfish. Lions Mane was the full name. Easy when you see it in print.

(I do have to say that was a quiz question a few years back. Then we put Blue whale and one or two others went for the reticulated python)

I have just looked for an image and found this.

                                                      History; Words; Games; Science; Music; TV sitcoms

@Cleoriff That visual of a blue whale vs the jellyfish is terrifying 

[Cleoriff]

Even more awful @EmilieT  is that they were seen a lot last year, in the seas round Ireland and Cornwall in the UK!! Needless to say, they do sting!!

Well done @Cleoriff!

I'd have plumped for the Portuguese Man of War jellyfish. Wrongly.

And Cape Wrath, which is Scottish, not English. 🤭

Good quiz, @Mi-Amigo.
