MORE TERRIBLE THAN THE SHARK


SKETCH
The coast gradually was removed, voices of bathers became more deafly, waves — are more dark and more tender. It was possible to lie quietly on a blue smooth surface of the sea and to look into the sky where there were in a cloud chubby cumulus clouds... Everything has been interrupted with sudden Krapivny blow in a leg. Here culprit: big, about a plate size, the jellyfish decorated with a short lilac cross.

This mysterious lump of protoplasm — the witness of ancient eras of evolution of life. But you won't call him primitive.

Floating, the jellyfish uses the jet principle of the movement, pushing out sea water the jellylike muscles. Attacking, she uses chemical weapon, can phosphoresce very attractively in twilight and is mysterious disappear in sea depths, listening attentively to far noise of the coming storm.

She both has perfectly adapted long ago to the world around and doesn't need in any development, self-improvement already hundreds of millions years.


Jellyfishes catastrophically quickly breed. So, for example, the sea jellyfish Aurelia is very known, this is the widespread inhabitant of sea depths. But before recent time vital activity of this being was "a white spot" in science. Recently ability of jellyfishes to give posterity in a geometrical progression has been open. Also growth rates of Aurelia are surprising — in only three months newborn "umbrella" weighing three milligrams turns into an adult jellyfish.

Though jellyfishes for 98 percent consist of water, they can cause the person big troubles. Contact with them often causes reddening of skin, a burn. At the most susceptible people temperature increase, blood circulation violation is noted, and some even faint. But all this will seem harmless in comparison with consequences of meetings with jellylike weight in tropical waters. On the North Australian coast, for example, separate individuals of jellyfishes emit poison of neuroparalytic action which kills the person in three minutes. In one year 50 people became the victims of jellyfishes. In October, 1984 has reported the Stern magazine about it.

The whole army of poisonous beings lives in waters of Australia. On the Great Barrier Reef the best-known of them — sea wasps, or Kubo's jellyfishes meet. Slowly moving twelve-meter feelers, they wave in water quite often near beaches.

The red jellyfish — широнекс fleker isn't less dangerous. The red jellyfish lives in coastal waters of Australia, India, Burma, Indonesia and Philippines. This jellyfish from only 10 to 20 cm has a set of the small bubbles full of poison on the body. Contact of the person with her in water is equivalent to a cobra sting.

As well as many other ancient legends, the myth about Gorgone's Jellyfish with venomous snakes on the head instead of hair which turned to stone any who will look at her is confirmed. The red jellyfish living on border between fresh and salty water in mouths of the rivers on the coast of Quiet and Indian oceans kills quicker than a cobra. Her body in the diameter about 10 — 12 cm, but a set of shchupalets 30 — 40 cm long сн
