Well not literally but yea. I just watch Killer whales/Orca and they are getting smarter and smarter. We all know they are very socialized creatures. But I just saw how remarkably intelligent these sea mammals are.
I watched how they can take down a Great White Shark, a Dolphin, and a STINGRAY. A stingray without being hit by it's poison. They also build their own racial and communication style, by socializing. I saw how they can manage to make a huge wave to knock off a seel off a ice platform, just by passing down what they learn to the next generation of their family(pod).
I'd say the Immortal Jellyfish is taking over the world, too. The Immortal Jellyfish theoretically cannot die from age, as it reverts back to a polyp form when it reaches sexual maturity. According to biologists, the recent population explosion of Jellyfish worldwide is due directly to the Immortal Jellyfish. It doesn't help that they don't really have a natural predator, either.
Well, if we could find the peanut butter fish, it might causes some predation of the jellyfish. Also, maybe Whale Wars is causing more problems then it solves. heh heh
If whales can make a wave to knock a seal off a rock, a whole butt ton of them could make a wave to take out New York!
oh wait, I live in the desert...
Whales can suck it!
Or y'know, we could just let the Japanese eat them... *is attacked by Greenpeace protesters* Okay okay, fuck it then! *is attacked by Christian fundamentalists* That's not what i meant!
Often the bigger and stronger animals are restricted by nature when it comes to reproduction, so it's unlikely that Killer Whales would become a large-scale problem...there are some exceptions like Lost's 'forever young' Jellies, but they're not too dangerous.

Doesn't sea turtles eat jelly fish?

They're not becoming bigger, they're becoming intelligent about getting their food, plus they had their own language depending on where they are. And it seems strangely we're not on their menu since there's rarely an attacked by wild orcas on humans. Not counting the zoos or other entertainment attractions since they are domestic and can't be released in the wild(plus the only ones that just eat fish).
The problem is due to ships. Jellyfish get carried across biomes when they get sucked into the water ballasts of ships and drained halfway across the world. This is how they end up outside of their own ecosystem. This causes problems in natural predation, since the animals in the new biome probably don't eat jellyfish, or that particular breed.

Actually, the Chinese cuisine comes through for that.
They harvest Cannonball Jellyfish to be eaten.

Yea...I had jellyfish before. Tasted like jello...favored jello with a feeling that you have a worm wiggling in your mouth. My family loves it, and I kindna don't...
Other animals are still smarter, but killer whales might be the biggest of the relatively intelligent creatures. Let's keep an eye on them.
Yes but they never took over Springfield in a Halloween special. We need to look after the dolphins.
