There are five famous five poisons in Chinese history, scorpions, snakes, centipedes, spiders, and toads, but in the list of the world's top ten poison kings, the top one is living in the ocean, a guy with a soft body, they swim in the sea like ghosts, using ghosts to describe this silent, colorless and tasteless killer, it is most appropriate.
In the boundless sea, there are tens of thousands of species of jellyfish, in the northeast of Australia, there is a jellyfish known as "Haihu Peak", their bodies are like a transparent large box, dragging nearly 4 meters long tentacles wandering in the sea, this lurking killer in the water, is the famous Australian box jellyfish, referred to as box jellyfish.
Unlike most of its kind, the tank jellyfish can only go with the flow, and the sea water flows wherever it flows, while the tank jellyfish can get the thrust by discharging the water in the body and swim wherever it wants to go. On the 60 slender and soft tentacles of the tank jellyfish, there are countless stinging cells that store poisonous liquid, if anyone dares to provoke it, it will frantically attack the opponent with the tentacles, and once swept by these tentacles, the poison needle on it will inject the venom into the opponent's body in an instant.
If you're lucky, the venoms will only make you uncomfortable for a while and then leave a long purple scar on the skin, but once the body absorbs the venom, the victim will have trouble breathing, followed by heart and respiratory failure, and if you can't quickly rescue them with antivenom within a few minutes, the person will die.
According to scientists, the venom in a tank jellyfish is enough to kill 60 adults, in recent decades, in the coast of Queensland, Australia, there have been 60 people killed under the poison of the tank jellyfish, and at the same time, only 13 people were killed in the shark's mouth, which shows its toxicity and the fierceness of the killing.
Tank jellyfish are not only swimmers, they even have 24 eyes, the surrounding 360 ° range is within its line of sight, once it is targeted, running faster than it is the only way to escape, trying to avoid their sight, it is almost impossible. The main food of tank jellyfish is small fish and shrimp, through their transparent bodies, you can fully see how they catch and digest prey.
They quietly swallow the small fish into the body, there are no teeth and upper and lower jaws to chew, the only thing you can see is that the small fish silently becomes its digest, the whole process looks so calm, but there is suffocation, such a scene is really weird and chilling.
Tank jellyfish can be seen in the western, northern and eastern coasts of Australia, and when you enjoy the sun, sand, sea, and bikini, please always remember that maybe death is around you. Fortunately, most of the time, the box jellyfish does not take the initiative to attack humans, but in the face of a ghostly killer, we are still far away from it, I believe that except for those adventurers who think life is too dull and need death stimulation are interested in watching, most people still cherish life.
