Man-of-war

Old National geographic article I just stumbled upon after I had to google what a Portuguese man-of-war was after someone mentioned it in a Subnautica forum.

My first reaction was that it looked like an Hanar but turns out made of zooids (I had to google that too).

This is why I don't like to swim in real water. And sharks. And irukandji. And russian submarines. Sea snakes. Surfers as well. Herrings.

I think clonal and fungal colonies are in a bit of a grey area when it comes to considering them as single organisms.

I had to check it wasn't April 1st! Extraordinary to discover a new human organ at this stage, and almost kind of comical.

"Hey, Jeff, what's this?"

"Dunno. Never noticed that before."
