Enter the DEADLIEST Aquarium in the World... (most venomous fish) ☠️

Everything in this Aquarium can KILL YOU! - Locked behind steel gates in Cairns, Australia, this Venom Lab at James Cook University keeps the world's most venomous aquatic creatures. I took a tour to learn more about these deadly species including: Box Jellyfish, Irukandji, Stone Fish, Cone Snail, Blue Ringed Octopus and Mantis Shrimp.

Richard Fitzpatrick is an Emmy award winning cinematographer and shark researcher!

Richard works as marine biologist at James Cook University⤵

That fella has contributed a lot to science, history, and the animal kingdom. A lifetime of work for the good ….not many people like this fella

[lwyatt]

I find it funny how the most venomous animals are held in the most inconspicuous containers like a water cup.

[linewater]

Him: **Casually touches the most venomous animals in the world**

Me: Yep he’s Australian.

Bro this guy is literally holding the world's most dangerous and is casually explaining how they can kill in 60 seconds. Man's got nerves of steel 🥶

Also important to know that the application of vinegar upon the stung area does NOTHING for the pain of a Box jelly sting. The stinging cells known as nematacysts's even after detaches from the animal itself, can deliver secondary stings as the detached tentacles can continue to fire off. Hence the use of the vinegar, all it does is neutralise the nematacysts rendering them unable to deliver any more stings in order to remove tentacle fragments safely from the stung limb/area.
