Box Jelly fish have tentacles with poison in them. People and animals unfortunate enough to be injected with this poison may experience paralysis, cardiac arrest, and even death.
What they eat
They do sting us but they do not eat us as we are not part of their diet. Box jellyfish love to eat arrow worms, shrimps, prawns, annelid worms, small fishes, krill, crayfish etc. Unlike other jellyfish which mostly float in water, the Box Jellyfish can move and go after their hunt.
Where they live
The lethal varieties are found primarily in the Indo-Pacific region and northern Australia.
