I love the outer space music that plays every time they show these freaky things floating around.

Excellent documentary...,the guy narrating seemed to be very knowledgeable & a "hands on" kind of scientist. I particularly liked how they showed some detailed research methods on these deadly yet fascinating creatures. Most nature docs are too watered down in their presentation IMHO.

The Irukandji jellyfish may be even deadlier, it’s so tiny it’s almost unnoticeable and the symptoms from their venom can mimic a heart attack or stroke.

"locals turn to the freshwater pools in the summer months" where they then get eaten by crocodiles.

If the Chinese people came to believe these jellyfish were good for their health or virility or as a delicacy, Australia wouldn’t have a problem with them much longer. The people of the most populous country in the world are adept at eradicating or nearly eradicating species of animals.

This was fascinating thank you !

I drove up to Port Douglas from Cairns when I was visiting from England. And I remember stopping in the car nd deliberating wether to take a dip or not. Sat here now feeling safe and happy I decided not to take that dip. Port Dug is where I nearly walked into a Golden Orb. Despite this I absolutely love Australia.

​@@mrkipling2201I think the Irukandji is a species of box jellyfish.

Two lessons here 1 Don’t go swimming in the sea in Australia 2 Swim in a swimming pool.

Not the worst of the bunch - there is another little bugger in the Ausie waters - the Irukandji jellyfish.

Growing up in Darwin I used to watch them swimming along at the wharf. I've seen them as big as shopping bags, and they move along pretty quick. Got stung once when I was a teenager down at the beer can regatta. Just a 6" piece of tentacle on the inside of my leg. Pain was crazy. They say if you survive the first 10 minutes after a proper sting then you will most likely survive. And they can leave some impressive scars. Fun fact - they used to be called Sea Wasps, the problem being that tourists would think wasp, and look in the sky for them. So they were renamed.

See the 60 minutes documentary about the Irukandjii jellyfish in Australia. It's WAY more dangerous and deadly and in comparison makes the Box Jellyfish look like Sunfish!

I could be wrong but there should not be any out on the Barrier Reef due to there being no estuaries close to it - I think this is where box jellyfish emanate and hang around. I've swam/swimmed/natated many times on the BR and never have I heard of let alone seen a box jelly out there. However I was stung by one in Madang Harbour in Papua New Guinea in 1996 dammit. I will never forget it.

If their population is exploding then we are not compromising their food sources. What we are compromising is the animals that eat the jellyfish. We are comprising their predators not their prey.

Both the dog and the guy have probably been stung by that mild jellyfish so many times it’s like a bee sting - no amount of shaming is going to change their ways.
