awesome
This is fascinating, as a jellyfish lover. These are so cool! I want to know more about them. Hopefully they become better known.
I love Jellyfish I love all fish, I love every animal in the ocean. And don't worry, I'll spread the word!
These are not jellyfish, or fish. Mainly known as the Giant Siphonophore, (the silly string looking one) the Potuguese Man O War is a Siphonophore as well, the most interesting one in my opinion, is also the most terrifying, i couldnt find the name but its stingers (i think stingers) are at its face and then it just once again starts to look like silly string.
I got stung by a man o war once *shivers*
it seems kind of cool to me
Awesome!
I don't know how LOOONG it is.
oh, the only reason its so long most likely because bergmans law, being the colder the temperature, the larger a creature will get,.
about 150ft, its only about as thick as a broomstick.
It looks like a LOOOOOONG string
It doesn't look like a predator but it might be dangerous!!
It's interesting that it's never been spotted before and it's the longest animal recorded in history. That's cool!
It is pretty cool... but at the same time, it is also a preditor.
I’m shocked that it’s a predator.
