It’s a box with four corners and 24 eyes. Not the type you would want to pack a present in because the eyes on this box are found in the ocean, on the deadly box jellyfish.

Everything about box jellies are unexpected, they have gadget-like extendable arms, fish for prey, fire venomous harpoons and are mostly water yet they’re the deadliest animals on earth.

But here’s something else extraordinary about these animals that few people know…..they have a whole bunch of eyes, 24 in fact! In the Irukandji box jellyfish the eyes are found in clusters on the bottom of their box-like body, between its dangerous tentacles.

Now this is where it can get a bit tricky, so hang in there. Within each of the four clusters (one cluster for each side of the jelly) there are a total 6 eyes, made up of 3 different types of eyes. You still with us?
