Multi-tasking tentacles

Multi-tasking tentacles

Imagine if your arms or fingers were like a swiss army knife and could do just about everything and anything like; attract prey, change length, shoot weapons, go fishing, digest food and excrete your waste.

Well, it just so happens that an animal like this does exist with all these awesome traits. The good news is that it would be highly unlikely to ever find yourself at the dinner table with it.

Meet the Irukandji, which is really tricky to say let alone spell. Pronounced (ira-can-gee) it’s a type of box jellyfish, named for their distinctive box-like body or ‘bell’ with a single long tentacle coming down from each corner.
