"Ahhhh, that's a good rock"- old scuba guy
Scuba steve!
Excellent documentary...,the guy narrating seemed to be very knowledgeable & a "hands on" kind of scientist. I particularly liked how they showed some detailed research methods on these deadly yet fascinating creatures. Most nature docs are too watered down in their presentation IMHO.
He said Vinegar... it looked like windshield wiper fluid 😂
Food coloring. Probably to help people see where the vinegar is hitting. People tend to be wet coming out of the ocean, so I imagine this is the reason.
Right lol
I said right .
Its got colour in it so it's not used on someone's dinner or mistaken for water derrrrrr
@@Chironex_Fleckeri and also to see how full the bottles are from a distance
I love the outer space music that plays every time they show these freaky things floating around.
Dude grabs them with him hands..mad lad
"locals turn to the freshwater pools in the summer months"
where they then get eaten by crocodiles.
Two lessons here 1 Don’t go swimming in the sea in Australia 2 Swim in a swimming pool.
The Irukandji jellyfish may be even deadlier, it’s so tiny it’s almost unnoticeable and the symptoms from their venom can mimic a heart attack or stroke.
It’s much deadlier.
Na mate the box has a more efficient defense
They aren’t true jellyfish. The deadliest Scyphozoan is the lion’s mane jellyfish. Fortunately they are rarely deadly.
Correct. It’s much more dangerous.
Yes but it’s the same species
Like it’s also a box jellyfish
Strange I just watched a jellyfish called a irukandji jellyfish witch is very small just off of Australia and the show mentions that it is the most deadliest in the world
It is. It kicks the box jellyfishes arse.
@@mrkipling2201I think the Irukandji is a species of box jellyfish.
One of the few great docos 10/10 good info great story line
If the Chinese people came to believe these jellyfish were good for their health or virility or as a delicacy, Australia wouldn’t have a problem with them much longer. The people of the most populous country in the world are adept at eradicating or nearly eradicating species of animals.
Hilarious!
No way in hell i'll ever go swimming in the ocean again
Just don't go in the ocean in Australia. That's where both of those killer jellyfish are. But I do see where you are coming from. When I was younger I loved the Ocean. I'm from The U.S.. Atlantic Ocean side. I had no fear in the ocean. Now I am 53 and I always feel uneasy when me or my kids (they are 20) are in the ocean. I freak out if a piece of seaweed touches my leg until I figure out what it is.
I won’t even set a foot on australian land or sea. Not gonna happen.
Not the worst of the bunch - there is another little bugger in the Ausie waters - the Irukandji jellyfish.
This helped me a lot with my school project!
Edit: You can find box jellyfish at Whitehaven beach from October to May
I drove up to Port Douglas from Cairns when I was visiting from England. And I remember stopping in the car nd deliberating wether to take a dip or not. Sat here now feeling safe and happy I decided not to take that dip. Port Dug is where I nearly walked into a Golden Orb. Despite this I absolutely love Australia.
I love this guys documentaries...informative and yet calming
See the 60 minutes documentary about the Irukandjii jellyfish in Australia. It's WAY more dangerous and deadly and in comparison makes the Box Jellyfish look like Sunfish!
I just watched that before this. Crazy that something so minute can kill you.
More venomous...not more deadly
i have seen that ,,,, these THINGS ARE FROM SPACE
Growing up in Darwin I used to watch them swimming along at the wharf. I've seen them as big as shopping bags, and they move along pretty quick. Got stung once when I was a teenager down at the beer can regatta. Just a 6" piece of tentacle on the inside of my leg. Pain was crazy. They say if you survive the first 10 minutes after a proper sting then you will most likely survive. And they can leave some impressive scars.
Fun fact - they used to be called Sea Wasps, the problem being that tourists would think wasp, and look in the sky for them. So they were renamed.
14:11 He has been doing this for years! Beautiful creatures tho,looks like diamonds,stings like bullets.
I’m watching this at 3:42AM high and here I am thinking he is god. He got stung by a manta ray and is picking up deadly box fish for fun. The kid was dying on the floor from the sting and he was just there 😂.
This was fascinating thank you !
You heard it here, ladies: Don’t shave our legs! 😉
All in the name of science. Thanks for your contribution to science and humanity.
When I went diving off the Great Barrier Reef one November they said they hadn’t seen any Box Jellyfish so far but I still opted for a stinger suit, can’t be too careful.
I could be wrong but there should not be any out on the Barrier Reef due to there being no estuaries close to it - I think this is where box jellyfish emanate and hang around. I've swam/swimmed/natated many times on the BR and never have I heard of let alone seen a box jelly out there. However I was stung by one in Madang Harbour in Papua New Guinea in 1996 dammit. I will never forget it.
Box Jellyfish are the most venomous creatures known to humans in Earth’s waters.
Humans: “Guys let’s go for a swim and put the babies in danger too!”
Irukangi jelly fish is. It makes the box look like a puppy dog 🐶
Irukangi is far more venomous than the box jellyfish. And only the size of a fingernail. I only know that bc it was the one I watched before this one though🤣
Chironex Fleckeri: "Ya think i'm bad, wait till ya get flecked by my lil thumbnail sized invisible cousin Irukandji!!"
Those are really BRAVE GUYS 😮
Simply amazing the wildlife our Terra Australis holds. Beautiful… but deadly. So fascinating our origins. Interesting the earliest forms of life.
The word deadly ruins paradise, such beauty with evil JELLIES roaming the waters
That was very interesting!
Ben seems to enjoy inducing pain on himself.
*Ben;* “I did both arms, what to do next...?”
*C & B T* 😂
It’s amazing there is no big budget doco about these things. So much we don’t know about them
He said not to touch your face but he has the jellyfish sting on his hands and taps the dog on the nose anyone else notice that ?
Conflate and the dogs nose is right in the water exploring with hundreds of these things
Obviously the stinger wasn't on his finger🤷🏾♀️
if i get stung by one i would scream so loud that lifeguards r alerted
So do all the sea swimmers in Aus carry vinegar as well as sunblock?
I viewed something where it was said that their population are exploding pretty much everywhere So does that mean that humans have compromised their food sources that much??? One of the most frightening jellies I've ever seen are the Nomura from Japan....🌊🦑🦂🐟🥺🥺
If their population is exploding then we are not compromising their food sources. What we are compromising is the animals that eat the jellyfish. We are comprising their predators not their prey.
The vinegar is blue just like car antifreeze in Canada. Brilliant!!!
23:18 24:30 27:00 how to win a Darwin Award 101: Get stung by the world’s deadliest “jellyfish” ever.
24:30 casually laughing well getting stung by a box jellyfish🤣
The Irukandji jellyfish is much more deadly and tiny compared to the box jellyfish, so much so that people usually don't see them until it is too late!
These people have some death wishes every time they pick up box jellyfish.
Where does the box jellyfish place on the food chain? Is it too vital to be culled or eliminated?
19:50
@@Tim_593 I am too ignorant and thick as a cinder block and is that the time? 7:50 pm? What does this mean? This means something!
dwspivey 66 , Lol 19 min’s and 50 sec’s into the program. 🤘
@@SharonD369 duh thanks, told you I was slow....I multi task while listening, I must of missed it. I actually thought for a moment it was chapter and verse...and I don't remember there being a nineteenth chapter in revelations!
@@darrylw1694 it should be highlighted like a weblink aswell so you can just click (or tap) on it to get to the exact moment in the video
World's deadliest creature??? You obviously haven't met my ex.
I did ans you're right! A true bytch
22:40 just pinning cause that's interesting
Why would you touch those with your bare hands!?!?!? 😱
The cap doesn’t sting
Uh oh.
Don’t tell me. I just got stung by a box jelly.
Yep.
I’m probably gonna die in a few?
Most likely.
Bring it on.
Karen Gunn Oh settle down, it’s just a joke, you dippy ding head!
Seems like you could draw a net across the estuaries after a storm and catch most of them before they get out to sea again.
He definitely is getting a kick out of doing that lololol , think he likes it 😂 🤣 😅
Maybe you can make a cream for the skin to prevent any stinging, using acetic acid.
Just put it on before you go swimming.
And this is why I'll never go swimming in an ocean and stick to swimming in a swimming pool thank you!
🖐️🤨🏖️🏊🏼♀️🩱🤿🌊
The Ocean isn't a playground.
Ben cropp likes those jelly stingers on his body far too much !!!! Oooh aaahh yesss more jellyfish 🤣😂🤣
35:11 that is so tiny. A nail of finger? 5mm?
Irukandji is 100 times more deadly than the box jellyfish.
The guy taking box jelly out of the water do not wear rubber gloves! Is this the thing wannabeamacho does in Australia?
Box jellyfish... known for their incredible sting and GONADS
And hollow clear penis's
Mad lad.
my god what a scary place to swim
Some of you in the comments are really giving this guy a hard time, meanwhile at 21:41 he and his son and dog are living their best lives lol. Leave him alone guess what.... we ALL are going to die one day if he wants to swim with deadly jellyfish and take his dog with him it's his life geesh. I loved this and think the little doggie is happy and would rather live this adventurous life than being stuck in some boring house somewhere waiting for its owners to come home to just to walk it. Ijs to each their own:)
I agree. Although I'm sure he and family don't do what we see in the video very often. I envy their lifestyle. I was influenced by Ben Cropp as a teenager in the mid-Sixties in Sydney in 'skin diving' as it was termed then (snorkeling I suppose). It's wonderful to see him thriving at his age 🙂.
Documentary (2009)
Thanks very interesting and you should have way more "likes"
11:17 that could he deadly
Wow the Box jellyfish hearts stops at 77 degrees Fahrenheit 25 degress Celsius amazing.
After the turbidity test, they monitor the heart rate of chironex. How is this possible if they have no heart?
It’s amazing how an animal can hunt without a brain.
they actually have a brain...
@@anoncanon1100 actually jellyfish don't have brains. They also don't have a central nervous system
TwilekDude723 Oooof. It hasn’t replied lol.
@@twilekdude5017 The Australian Box jellyfish Chrionex Fleckeri Biggest of the Box jellyfish species does have a primitive brain and nervous systems, it also has eyes as well.
@@brickx4106 What's the article you read that on?
The Bondi cigar can be extremely deadly too. 🤣😂🤣
Jellyfish are creepy creatures.
Horrible place to live and visit.
Question please! Why did you let the big Monster at the end to live instead of taking it away for safety?!😅
Goog documentary 🎉
I would put it in the mincer.
I can't believe people are still swimming in Australian seas in the presence of box and iruqandji jellyfish?in simple words they are playing with their own lives. Sad!!!
26:56 maybe you just got the wrong kind.
🤔
There is one jelly fish far more deadlier than the Box and it is only half the size of ones thumb, The " Irukandji " !!!!
That's messed up, someone save that fkn dog 🐕😒
I think this is the only jelly fish that could kill a human, I don’t know if it’s called a box jellyfish but yeah
Yes the Australian Box Jellyfish Chrionex Fleckeri Biggest of the Box Jellyfish species is the most venomous animal on our planet. The Australian Box Jellyfish Irukandji smallest of the Box jellyfish species comes in number 2.
What jellyfish is on 22:40
Another species of Box jellyfish that can also kill
Irukandji is more deadly
WHY in the hell does he have a tiny Yorkshire Terrior wading in the water next to him where he's collecting these dangerous Box Jellyfish?!!! You can see the little dog come into frame early on in the video at 3:38-3:39 WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! I'm outraged!
Go watch it again, the part with the dog.
@@judypoohdy I watched it 4 times. The little dog was in the water where the guy was gathering Box Jellyfish. Did I miss something?
@@Teresa-we2ke His hair protects him from being stung. Only his nose is vulnerable.
@@danielhartin7680 ..Also the bottoms of his feet are exposed and his/her entire underbelly as well. I have 2 Yorkies and they arent as hairy as they appear. Their hair if human like and thin. This just really upset me that this little dog was put in harms way unnecessarily. 🥺
"threat to man" yeah because its the jellys fault like they can actively decide "lets go sting some people" nah man its our fault for swimming because jellyfish don't sting on purpose its all automatic they cant do shit man its just jelly and nerves
Are these swimmers crazy? OK if you want to take the risk, but to put your children at that risk is just bloody insanity Find a fresh water pool, fools.
Box & Irukandji both get plenty of attention in this, yep that Irukandji packs one heck of a punch for his size (his??? Maybe they don't have a gender???)!!!
Shaka, when the walls fell.
Yes they have a gender.
Now Brain-eating amoeba no place os safe now
I love that guy..he was hilarious!! Getting stung for fun..lol...pretty sure he is into S+M!! Lol
Sorry about this this but both smoke this is what Boost Mobile service does with your new phone say say things you did not say they put words that you do not say how can we Sue Boost Mobile for just kind of interference in our services
Irukandi is nuclear bomb for box jelly f.
Ok. How do they have eye's an no brain. ???
The Irukandji jellyfish is worse!
This is what you get when you pay over $600 for a phone through Boost Mobile
How with out a brain. ???
That guy must enjoy being stung ...
Unwatchable with all them ads,, ridiculous
heart beat is 96 after swimming lol he says that quite elevated... nope srry but that completely normal and healthy
96bpm isn't quite healthy. She was wading at best not like she was strenuously breaststroking.
27:06 what an old fool. Why would he feel that he wants it on the inside of the leg. Wouldn't some where else do just as well? Is he showing off?
Oj kk b
I dont care if he gets himself stung. As long as the doggo doesn't get stung
3:55 TAKE YOUR DOG OUT OF THE WATER WHAT ARE YOU DOING OH MY GOD
Second!!!!

"the worlds deadliest creature" is surely the human. the worlds deadliest animal is the mosquito
How.deep.
That's a insect not an animal
I dont think I've ever seen a more unprofessional professional. He knows the potential DEADLY outcome and not only lets his dog sniff around in the water but cant even put a $2 pair of rubber gloves on ? That's just down right foolish and dangerous. If he wants to play with death that freely there's much less painful ways to go. I have no respect whatsoever for so called experts like this guy.
The first set of jellyfish he was handling: He wasn’t handling the irikanji, he was handling a completely non-deadly and non-hospital-trip-inducing cousin. The irikanji is thumbnail size. And the dog actually was wearing the equivalent of a bodysuit of the type that people use to prevent jelly stings. Both the dog and the guy have probably been stung by that mild jellyfish so many times it’s like a bee sting - no amount of shaming is going to change their ways. They will go on as always forever, hearty souls.
