  • Tiburonia granrojo is an intriguing species with some fascinating features. Here are a few more details:
    1. **Habitat**: They are found in deep waters, typically between 600 and 1,500 meters (2,000 to 4,900 feet) below the ocean surface.
    2. **Size**: As mentioned, they can have a bell diameter of up to 3 meters (10 feet), making them one of the largest jellyfish species known.
    3. **Appearance**: They have a distinctive red coloration, which gives them their common name "big red jellyfish." Their bell is usually translucent, with a central mouth-arms structure.
    4. **Behavior**: Not much is known about their behavior, but they are believed to be passive drifters, relying on ocean currents for movement.
    5. **Feeding**: Like other jellyfish, Tiburonia granrojo is a carnivorous predator, feeding on small planktonic organisms and possibly other jellyfish.
    6. **Reproduction**: Their reproductive habits are not well-documented, but like other jellyfish, they likely have a complex life cycle involving both sexual and asexual stages.
    7. **Discovery**: Tiburonia granrojo was discovered relatively recently, in 2003, during an expedition to the Davidson Seamount. This discovery shed light on the diversity of deep-sea ecosystems and the fascinating creatures that inhabit them.
