My goodness...

...if it's not Godzilla or Rodin, it's giant jellyfish.

TOKYO (Reuters) - A slimy jellyfish weighing as much as a sumo wrestler has Japan's fishing industry in the grip of its poisonous tentacles.

Vast numbers of Echizen kurage, or Nomura's jellyfish, have appeared around Japan's coast since July, clogging and ripping fishing nets and forcing fishermen to spend hours hacking them apart before bringing home their reduced catches. [...]

Obviously Gaia's way of getting us back for not ratifying Kyoto. Along with this: Hamster, Snake Best Friends at Tokyo Zoo . Nature has just gone nuts! Can dogs and cats, living together, be much further behind?!
