It's considered the most venomous marine animal as its venom can cause paralysis, heart failure, and death within minutes.

Box jellyfish are found in the waters of northern Australia and Southeast Asia.

The venom is fast-acting, and death can occur within minutes in severe cases.

The Australian box jellyfish can grow up to one foot in diameter, with tentacles reaching up to 10 feet long.

They don't deliberately attack humans, but they are not likely to move out of the way, and contact with their tentacles can be fatal.
