      That’s true! Box jellyfish are the most dangerous animal in the world! People have died after being stung by a box jellyfish because their venom causes heart attacks. This only happens in very severe cases though. Luckily, we don’t have any box jellyfish in Ireland. They prefer warmer countries like Australia and Thailand. The water is too cold for them in Ireland.
