FEATURE - Segelquallen am Strand von Tolcarne an der britischen Atlantikküste
EXCLUSIVE: *NO RTL USAGES*
Strange sea creatures have taken over the Cornwall coast in massive numbers – leaving the beach covered in odd skins.
Pictures taken on Tolcarne beach yesterday (5 July) show the shallows littered with mysterious near-transparent skins, which were identified as belonging to a type of creature similar to jellyfish, called by-the-wind-sailor.
Unlike a typical jellyfish, these use their small sails to travel along the top of the ocean, letting them catch the wind and travel on currents.
The creatures are extremely similar to the Portuguese Man O'War, but instead are made up of a colony of tiny individual jellies.
They have a deep blue and purple oval disc, which is the float, then a small sail is attached across the top of the float, with tentacles dangling below.
Their stinging tentacles allow them to prey on young fish and other small animals while it travels and they measure around 6-10 cm long.
However, because of the sails, they are at the mercy of the winds, so are usually found washed up on beaches after stormy weather on UK and Irish coasts.
Luckily for beach goers, the odd jellyfish isn't poisonous to touch and won't sting, but scientists say to avoid them as they still carry a mild neurotoxin.
They're well known to appear during warmer periods, so keep an eye out for one of these strange findings on your coast this summer.

Winston was born without two front legs (Collect/PA Real Life). *** Real life Dr Dolittle gives animals with special needs an idyllic life and sees a rescued piglet and a paraplegic dog strike up an extraordinary friendship
By Joe Pagnelli, PA Real Life
A real life Dr Dolittle who gives animals with special needs an idyllic life says the extraordinary friendship between a piglet who fell from a livestock truck and a paraplegic dog who uses a wheelchair makes all her hard work worthwhile.
As boss of Charlotte's Freedom Farm, a five-and-a-half acre animal sanctuary, Lauren Edwards, 37, has spent the past five years providing a safe haven for everything from pigs to ponies, peacocks and pigeons.
Inspired to start the venture in Ontario, Canada, after rescuing her first sheep in 2017, Lauren, who now has more than 200 animals and also runs a pet food supply franchise, said: "Winston the golden retriever and Wilma the pig are inseparable.
"They behave like puppies when they are together."
Lauren, whose partner James Lambourne, 35, is a football coach, adopted Winston in July 2021 when he was eight-weeks-old.
With no front legs and a missing sternum, he could not play with other animals as it was too risky, until Wilma arrived in September, as a tiny piglet and the pair became best pals.
Lauren, said: "They started sleeping together.
"One time, I caught them both on the sofa. They'd leapt on to it and I didn’t even realise they could do that.
"When they were little, I watched them playing together and acting like puppies for hours.
"Wilma looked like a puppy in a piglet costume.
"As soon as I brought her into the house and let her out of the cage, she met Winston and within five minutes they were bouncing around the house and playing together.
"She would drop her body into him. It was the cutest thing I’d ever seen. They just bonded.

amazing photoshoots will feature on the cover of National Geographic
one day
By Joe Pagnelli and Danielle Desouza
A mum-of-two who has become "obsessed" with her photogenic pet hamster hopes her
ravishing rodent who loves to pose up for adorable photoshoots will one day feature on the
cover of National Geographic.
Keti Kraja, 37, welcomed Bob the eight-month-old hamster into her home in Ravenna, Italy,
after her children Gabriel, 10, and Joy Motta, 12, begged her for a pocket-sized friend - and
they quickly realised their camera friendly pet could be a mini supermodel.
The hunky hamster is dedicated to his craft and spends up to an hour a day posing up for
Keti, who owns a swimwear company, and has already filled her camera roll with more than
2,000 snaps of him bowling, painting and even enjoying a boozy Christmas.
Explaining how Bob started modelling, Keti said: "When I would go around the house, and
when I saw my kids' toys and they were so small like the Barbie's house, little cars and Legos
and Id take them and just place Bob to pose in there.
"He looked at me with just confusion at first but now he runs to the sets I prepare and Ill
just snap away.
"The more photos I took, the more I wanted to take them."
Luckily, Bob soon got the picture - and within about a month Keti could tell he felt confident
and loved participating in the shoots, as she could see he felt safe to stay in place.
Keti said: "Hes so still when he is modelling and he looks at me. He loves posing. Hes got

"Now Im always out shopping for Bob for the photoshoots, buying him props and toys."

Keti Kraja, 37, welcomed Bob the eight-month-old hamster into her home in Ravenna, Italy,
after her children Gabriel, 10, and Joy Motta, 12, begged her for a pocket-sized friend - and
they quickly realised their camera friendly pet could be a mini supermodel.
The hunky hamster is dedicated to his craft and spends up to an hour a day posing up for
Keti, who owns a swimwear company, and has already filled her camera roll with more than
2,000 snaps of him bowling, painting and even enjoying a boozy Christmas.
Explaining how Bob started modelling, Keti said: "When I would go around the house, and
when I saw my kids' toys and they were so small like the Barbie's house, little cars and Legos
and Id take them and just place Bob to pose in there.
"He looked at me with just confusion at first but now he runs to the sets I prepare and Ill

"The more photos I took, the more I wanted to take them."
Luckily, Bob soon got the picture - and within about a month Keti could tell he felt confident
and loved participating in the shoots, as she could see he felt safe to stay in place.
Keti said: "Hes so still when he is modelling and he looks at me. He loves posing. Hes got

Emily was non-verbal before adopting Oslo. (Collect/PA Real Life) *** Non-verbal autistic twin girl now giggles and says
the odd word thanks to the love of a black Labrador
dog called Oslo
By Rikki Loftus, PA Real Life
A devoted dad told how his non-verbal autistic daughter now starts the day with fun-loving
giggles and even says the odd word and phrase thanks to the love of a black Labrador
dog called Oslo.
Project manager Steven Chilvers, 42, and his accountant wife, Dawn, 48, soon noticed
that while her twin sister, Olivia, was hitting her milestones, Emily was not and, aged two and-a-half, she was diagnosed with autism.
Steven, of Long Buckby, Northamptonshire, said: "They are seven now, but comparing
the twins' development, it was obvious quite early on that there was something a little bit
different with Emily.
An assessment resulted in an autism diagnosis - which can mean people find it hard to
communicate and interact with others, also having difficulties understanding how other
people think or feel, as well as finding lights or loud noises overwhelming, stressful or
uncomfortable.
Steven said: Emilys diagnosis wasnt a surprise. We pretty much knew because the
signs were there.
She was non-verbal, didnt make eye contact and would play repetitively.
Her diagnosis simply meant that we could start to access the help we needed.
Emily also finds having clothes and shoes on overwhelming and, until very recently, could
only tolerate wearing one particular piece of clothing when she went outdoors - a red
dress.
Steven said: Fortunately, her nana is a wonderful seamstress so, as Emily h as grown,
she has made her bigger versions of the red dress using the exact same material.
But obviously, not wearing shoes meant that getting her out of the house was a really
difficult thing to do.
Looking at ways to improve life for Emily, her parents discovered that dogs could help her
cope with everyday things, such as socialisation and outings.
