The Deadliest Creature on Earth
Tourists flock to the sun-drenched beaches of Australia's north Queensland coast - but lurking beneath the waves is a creature which is just as deadly as a shark - the box jellyfish or sea wasp. Its stinging tentacles induce almost unendurable pain - and even death.
This film by Ben Cropp documents for the first time the behaviour of this deadly jellyfish.
