Irukandji Jellyfish

Size surely doesn’t matter when it comes to this little jellyfish. Belonging to the box jellyfish family, the irukandji jellyfish is only about 5 millimeters at its top, but has tentacles as long as one meter. Its sting is 100 times more powerful than a cobra and 1,000 times stronger than a tarantula. It is the only jellyfish with stingers on its head too.
