Ocean Venom
These innocent looking and often, pretty ocean
dwellers have frighteningly powerful toxins to inject
into their victims. From blue ringed octopus, box
jellyfish, sea wasps, stonefish and cone shells to the
headline making, deadly irukandji, Rob Bredl goes
offshore to find out why such potent venoms are needed
to kill small prey fish when merely brushing against an
irukandji 'jellyfish' can bring excruciating pain and
inevitable death to innocent human swimmers. On
Australia's magnificent beaches these guys are the worst
ambassadors you could ask for, but which is the
deadliest to humans and why has it developed such a
powerful arsenal? Rob pulls on his flippers and drifts
with these killers for the answers. AU$ 26.50.-
