3rd most deadlist animal? Australian Box Jellyfish

Posted June 21st, 2007 by Ryan

Box Jelly Fish

Also known as the sea wasp, this salad-bowl sized jellyfish can have up to 60 tentacles each 15 feet long. Each tentacle has 5,000 stinging cells and enough toxin to kill 60 humans. These generally aren’t exported for aquarium trade. Thank goodness.
