TIL Malo kingi or the common kingslayer is an Australian Irukandji jellyfish named after Robert King - an American tourist killed by one of them in 2002. They are the smallest jellyfish in the world, the size of a thumbnail and hospitalise 50-100 people each year. Their venom causes haemorrhaging.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malo_kingi#til #todayilearnedhttps://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/170drw9/til_malo_kingi_or_the_common_kingslayer_is_an/

@todayilearned 😂 The description of their appearance is not helpful in IDing them:They are bell-shaped with light purple nematocyst warts. The bell is transparent, colourless and has a height of 31 mm.[1] They also have a frown-shaped rhopaliar niche ostium, perradial lappets that have two rows of warts, palmate velarial canals, and two median lensed eyes. Their primary tentacular cnidae are club shaped. The rhopaliar horns are short, broad, and curved.[1]

@todayilearned As Bill Bryson said, Australia has more things that want to kill you than anywhere else on earth.
