Box Jellyfish
ive read on the internet that box jellyfish are found around Australia and here in the Philippines. True enough, we've spotted a few here in Palawan. 1 when my mom was boarding a pump boat. good thing she saw it first before making another step. it was right in front of her. a small one (the size of a thumb) but still deady.
the second one was found at snake island....some boat men/ guides took it out of the water... according to our guide/ boat man it was as big as his thigh...pretty huge..and deadly..
locally box jellyfish are termed as Salabay.
we've also seen a lot of moon jellyfish and other gross looking ones but im much concerned w/ box jelly. i hate jellyfish... yuck... they look pretty underwater but still..... eeewww! hahaha better bring a lot of vinegar....
