Box Jellyfish
The box jellyfish is considered the most venomous marine animal in the world. These creatures can have up to 15 tentacles measuring 10ft long. The sting from the box jellyfish is known to be exceedingly painful, causing swimmers to go into shock and drown. If you somehow avoid going into shock, immediate medical attention is necessary as heart failure is imminent. Even armed with this knowledge, it is hard to avoid the box jellyfish as it is nearly translucent and blends in with the water.

Bull Shark
Just like humans, Bull Sharks enjoy warm, shallow waters, making them a threat to beach-goers. They are known to travel up rivers and linger in estuaries and areas where the water is less than 100ft deep. While shark attacks are rare, the majority of shark bites come from Bull Sharks. Unlike most sharks, these animals are highly aggressive and are known to eat just about anything. Studies have shown that this predator is attracted to bright colors, so best play it safe and pack your black bathing suit for your trip down under.
