## What you should know

One of the most venomous animals in the entire ocean, and nearly invisible in the water. It lives off northern Australia.

## Whoa

It has 24 eyes. It also has no brain, which raises a lot of questions nobody can answer yet.

## Staying safe around it

This one is venomous, which means it can put venom into you with a bite or a sting. Never touch it, and never try to move it yourself.

**Always ask a grown-up before you touch any animal or plant.** If something bites or stings you, tell an adult right away.
