Forums → WEPR → Irukandji Jellyfish

Why do people post these topics? LOL I have to admit it is for all conversations but still, well the jellyfish is cool

Ive heard of the Irukandji jellyfish b4 it is the deadliest in the world

Ever hear of Humbolt Squids? their as numerous as crabs in the ocean. And thats alot and these things grow to the size of a man, often hunt in groups, and have been known to kill people. Even sharks are being out manuevered by them.




The thing is, many of the Deep sea fish, can't really harm us. A in truth, we could just grab these things and snap them in half of we wanted to. Not to mention to just grab them and swish them up and down really fast, they will pop because of such rapid pressure changes.

But we can only go down that deep with subs, and special suits. and these suits are like tanks also so we have nothing to worry about.
I work on a trawler, and I deal with Humbolts here and then. They arent that bad. All you do is you get a harpoon, and impale it. They live mainly in the Pacific, but there has been some sneaking over to the Caribbean.

The irukandji is very deadly and very small but what I dont get is if its so small why does it need to kill such big prey that it cant eat?

That's a question for spiders as well.

I saw something on national geographic about jellyfish like these. One guy got stung, somehow knew he had been, and drove himself to the hospital. As soon as he got to the hospital, he became paralyzed from the venom. The doctors saved his life, but that has to be scary.

i thought the box jelly fish was the worst but what ever. i dont think this topic really belongs in the world events section

it does if the jellyfish are all over the world
