A jellyfish creates panic among the tourists at the Great Barrier Reef as speculations are high about the attack of the sea creature. Recent incidents reveal that the sea creature has already snatched away the lives of several tourists in the last three months. A number of tourists have lost their lives and the last one was a 63-year-old British man.

The Sun reports that the tourist was swimming in a specific area near the Moore Reef when he was attacked by the jellyfish. Reports say that the creature is mainly available in that specific area. The tourist was actually enjoying a snorkeling trip at the above mentioned Moore Reef.

The Moore Reef is one of the greatest attractions for the tourists who gather every year to enjoy the natural beauty of the Great Barrier Reef. The specified place is 25 miles off the coastline of Cairns, in Queensland. Sources say that the British tourist was very close to the reef pontoon when he had a heart attack and the probable reasons can be the existence of the jellyfish.

Initially, a rescue helicopter rushed to the spot, but the response team can't save the life of the tourist. Surprisingly, the same day a rescue team admitted a 43-year-old woman to the Cairns Hospital in a very serious condition. The team pulled the woman from the water off Green Island and experts believe that the jellyfish is the key reason behind this incident also.

Analysts believe that Irukandji jellyfish is most probably responsible for all these incidents. This specific sea creature is one of the most venomous creatures in the world. Just a few days before on Jan. 30, three children suffered stings from this creature near the Fitzroy Island, a place 20 miles from Moore Reef.

Last month the authority closed different beaches in the area that includes three Cairns beach. The key reason is the presence of the jellyfish in those areas. Last November two French tourists died while enjoying the snorkeling trip like the last one.

After this incident, a 60-year-old British scuba diver also breathed his last. ABC news reports that famous cardiologist Dr. Ross Walker thinks Irukandji is responsible for this death. He even opines that this jellyfish is so small that it is difficult to find the creature with naked eyes. The size of the creature is same with the size of a fingernail.

It is true that natural ocean beauty always haunts people. Sea beauty of the Great Barrier Reef attracts tourists from all over the world, and Jellyfish is a natural part of the ocean. The recent incidents obviously raise some questions and it is necessary to address them quickly.
