Sea wasp
The sea wasp is the
deadliest animal in the world. They are pale blue and transparent and are difficult to see.
It is a kind of box jellyfish
known as chironex fleckeri. Its tentacles are loaded with hundreds of thousands
of microscopic stinging cells that inject a cobra-like venom.
This is so toxic
that a person can die within five minutes of brushing against its trailing tentacles.
The venom from a single
creature can kill up to 60 adults! Over 100 people have been killed by the
stings from a Chironex fleckeri
