Content evaluation- The content in this article is relevant, and none of the pictures or information is distracting to the reader. Although, some of the content is inaccurate and outdated. For example, the article claims that the largest form of the box jellyfish is the most fatal, although it is actually the smallest form that is most fatal. Also, the article stated that the jellyfish produced "venom," which is completely inaccurate. Finally, the article had some confusing sentences and grammatical errors that made it difficult to follow at times.

Tone evaluation- The article was fairly non-bias and overall focused on discussing facts about the box jellyfish. Although these facts were not always accurate, the article had no bias about the box jellyfish.
