@cybernation_sg: A #diver near Papua New Guinea encountered a large #jellyfish in #2022, identified as Chirodectes maculatus. This #species, known for being relatively harmless to #humans compared to other box jellyfish, had been sighted only once before. While initially thought to match the original description from 2005, the first-ever captured #video in 2022 revealed distinctive features. Dr. Allen Collins, a #zoologist at the Smithsonian Institution, suggested it might be a closely related but potentially different #species. This encounter emphasizes the importance of ongoing #exploration and #research in understanding #marine #life.
