There are a number of jellyfish species native to Australia. The giant spotted jellyfish is a particularly pervasive species which has started spreading to the norther hemisphere, specifically the water of the United States and even as far as Ireland. The most dangerous species of native jellyfish is the box jellyfish, of which there are several sub-species. A sting from the tentacles of the Australian box jellyfish Chironex fleckeri can cause death within minutes, although some people have survived it.
