By Sarah Griffiths
    The incredibly rare jellyfish was discovered off the coast of Queensland, Australia, by an aquarist who was releasing a rescued sea turtle at the time    The creature, called a Crambione Cookii, was last seen by American scientist Alfred Gainsborough Mayor off the coast of Cookstown, Queensland, in 1910    Not much is known about the mysterious creature, which measures more than two feet long and has a powerful sting.
