      The longest animal ever recorded was a lions mane jellyfish. It was 37 metres long which is longer than the largest blue whale ever measured. There might be even longer ones in the deep ocean that we haven’t even seen. Maybe a giant squid.

      Hi Lexie,

      Probably the ‘Lion’s Mane Jellyfish’ – it’s tentacles were about the same length as THREE tennis courts!
