Box Jellyfish - Chironex Fleckeri

The BOX JELLYFISH is Australias invisible but deadly supreme marine predator. A frightening death follows a sting from this amazing creature.

Chironex Fleckeri is the object of study by Dr Jamie Seymour, who is a senior lecturer at the James Cook University in Queensland. Dr Seymour has worked closely with Jacques and Philippe Cousteau and the Irwins on the series OCEANS DEADLIEST and seems to know his subject well judging by this video.

@MetalDrums221 They said in another video that they can't get a good grip using gloves, so they just use bare hands and try to just hold the head (no venom).
