Where do you think Hollywood and Sci-Fi movies get their inspiration?
All these animals are found in Asia!

WORLD’S LONGEST ANIMAL
Lion’s Mane Jellyfish
The largest jellyfish – the lion’s mane jellyfish – ever caught measured over 35 metres. That’s as long as eight Ferrari F50s put back to front. Or if you laid out three of these jellyfish from head to tentacle in a row, they will cover the length of a soccer field!

Jellyfish, in general, use its tentacles to capture fish, plankton and other jellyfish, stinging them with tiny sharp needles filled with poison called nematocysts. These stinging cells can also hurt us, so it is a good idea to stay away from them. It is difficult to spot them in the water, however, and many look like floating plastic bags. The most dangerous are the Box jellyfish (also known as the sea wasp) and the Irukandji. They have no brains or sensory organs, and swim around by contracting and expanding their bodies and relying on the currents to push them along.


WORLD’S UGLIEST FROWN
Frogfish
As long as a water bottle and as large as a dinner plate, the Frogfish is a type of anglerfish that can be found in most tropical and sub-tropical oceans and seas. They look as though they’re having a bad day everyday – with a frown like that – but their mouths are shaped that way to make sure they can open it as wide as possible to swallow their food whole.

They stay very still, blending in with the corals to “fish” for their food. And they are lightning quick – the fish disappear into their mouths in a flash. The best way to watch them feeding is to watch videos filmed by scuba divers.

You hardly see them swimming as well. They “walk” on their pectoral fins or jet about by pushing air out of opercular openings found behind the pectoral fins. It’s like having jet boosters coming out of your armpits!
