Australian box jellyfish, the deadliest jellyfish on earth, lives in Australian, New Guinea, Philippine and Vietnamese waters. One jellyfish carries enough venom to kill more than 60 sheep. It is one of the most poisonous animals in the ocean and one of the most poisonous animals in the world.
There are about 60 tentacles in australian box jellyfish, each of which can be up to 3 meters long. There are hundreds of tiny hooks full of venom on each tentacle, and the whole body is covered with about 500 million stinging cells. Once stimulated, the filaments in the stinger cells will immediately pop out, and the pierced part will be accompanied by a strong burning sensation, just like being burned by a hot soldering iron.
The main components of australian box jellyfish:
The main component of jellyfish body is water, and it is composed of inner and outer germ layers. There is a thick mesothelium between the two layers, which is not only transparent, but also floating.
When they are moving, they use the water spray reflection in their bodies to move forward. From a distance, they look like a round umbrella floating rapidly in the water. When jellyfish appear in groups at sea, they live closely together and float deep on the sea like a whole, which is very spectacular.
The sea waves are like snow, and the blue sea surface is dotted with many beautiful umbrellas, shining with faint light green or blue-purple light, and some have rainbow-like halos.
