Good morning and welcome to Kid News. I'm Tori. Today is Tuesday, July 16th, 2019.

And we begin with a jellyfish as big as a human discovered off the southern coast of England.

Wildlife Conservationist Lizzie Daly was near the end of a week-long marine adventure

when she spotted the five-foot cream-colored creature swimming in the waters near Cornwall.

It turned out to be a barrel jellyfish, almost double its normal size.

Daly and her photographer were not daunted by the giant jelly,

or its potentially mild sting,

and it's been an hour swimming at its side,

which she described as a serene grounding experience.

Daily seven-day trek, dubbed Wild Ocean Week, was part of her quest to raise awareness

about wildlife in the UK. In Louisiana a couple of dogs looking for leftovers

found much more than they bargained for. A video posted online

by their owners shows two pups sniffing under the family's grill only to find a small

but lively alligator. According to the state's authorities, gators like this one, along with scores of snakes,

are the latest danger facing residents in the wake of Hurricane Barry.

While the now tropical storm didn't pack the predicted punch, it did produce

widespread flooding that sent people and animals searching for higher ground.

In the video, one of the pet pooches stands its ground against the gator, maybe hoping for a meal of alligator

sushi or gator gumbo, two dishes popular in Kaging Country.

Did you know that astronauts lose their sense of taste in space?

Since there's no gravity, there's nothing to pull fluid down in their bodies, so their

sinuses often get clogged.
