Nutso Photo From Byron Bay Shows Live Fish Trapped Inside Live Jellyfish

You’ll find more than just Splendour In The Grass at Byron Bay, there’s also plenty of splendour in the water.

Case In Point: this viral pic from Aussie photog Tim Samuel.

In a scene so unbelievably cartoonish that you’d think it had been plucked straight from the storyboards of Finding Dory, Samuel was freediving in the lush waters off Byron when he copped an eyeful of a fishy that just so happened to be trapped inside a goddam jellyfish:

I’m loving hearing where you are all from and where you saw this posted, keep it up, it’s putting a big smile on my face It is crazy how much attention this little guy is getting. When @franny.plumridge and I stumbled upon it we knew we had found something special, but had no idea just how unique and rare this sighting was. I’m completely blown away by all the attention it is getting from all over the world.

NB: You do not know true terror until you’ve stared into the eyes of a fish who knows he’s doomed to live out the rest of his fishy days as a helpless passenger inside a roving brainless sack of transparent goo.

Shedding more light on his encounter with this natural miracle/godless abomination, Samuel told Gizmodo that the scaly critter was actually steering the jellyfish from the inside, much like a Mighty Morphin’ Power Ranger in a blubbery dinozord.

“It seemed completely trapped in there, like it had somehow managed to swim inside and then was unable to back itself out,” he said. “The fish was able to propel the jellyfish forward and controlled its movement to an extent, the jellyfish threw it off balance though and they would wobble around, and sometimes get stuck doing circles.”

Welcome to Australia: where the bank robbers are national icons, the national emblems are considered tasty breakfast treats and the fish wear the jellyfish like wetsuits and ride them round the ocean like those weird bubble car thingies from Jurassic World:

Probably not as resilient against predators, though.

Anyhoo, Samuel told the gadget mag that he contemplated freeing the little guy, but in the end decided against it.

“I decided to just let nature run its course, which was a difficult decision for me to make,” he said.

T R A P P E D – Woke up this morning to my phone going crazy due to one my photos being reposted by @discoverocean. Here’s another photo from that day. I found this fish trapped inside a Jellyfish while freediving in Byron Bay. He was trapped in there but controlled where the Jellyfish was moving. Prints are available through my website – link in bio
