An extremely venomous species of

jellyfish found in Australia. They are less than an inch long, actively

hunt prey, and cost the Australian government $AUD 3 billion annually

through medical costs associated with stings and tourism losses.

Irukandji jellyfish's stings are so severe they can cause fatal brain hemorrhages and on average send 50–100 people to the hospital annually.

I read a while back that Australia had a jellyfish that would kill you if you got stung.
