Additional Media

Here are some additional videos and pictures that I think are very interesting or just plain ol’ fun. Enjoy! :)

This four minute video offers great basic information about the Irukandji’s structure, habitat, and impact on humans. It also has some amazing footage of the way this jelly moves and even shows one eating a small fish!

This man is crazy! He has a show called “Bite Me” in which he purposefully has dangerous/venomous animals bite/sting him. He does not have an Irukandji sting him (what a death sentence that would be!), but he does sting himself with a different box jelly.

This is a video by Julian Smith, one of my favorite YouTubers. Good for some laughs. :)
