Chironex fleckeri or the sea wasp jellyfish is one of the most deadly jellyfish in the world.
Also known as the box jellyfish, it lives in Australia, New Guinea, the Philippines, and Vietnam. The sea wasp has tentacles up to 9.8 ft. long, and there are 15 of them. When you get stung, there is extreme pain followed by a burning feeling, and it can kill you in around 3 minutes without proper treatment. One way of treating a sting is by putting vinegar on it. Alcohol actually helps speed up the process of killing you.
