Today is Wet Beast Wednesday!

Today’s wet beast is: Man-of-war Fish

Olive’s wet beast fact: this little fishy has evolved to live within the extremely dangerous tentacles of the Portuguese Man O’ War. It is here that the fish feasts upon their gonads. Happy Pride.

Stay tuned for more Wet Beast Wednesdays!

They always say that the Portugese Man'O'War is a colony of different animals, including the reproductive parts

How the fuck does that work?

okay to make a long and complicated thing shorter, stupid, and marginally less complicated:

Colonial organisms, like the man o' war, all sorta occur when one organism, produced via sexual reproduction, asexually reproduces itself into a ton of clones. These clones, zooids, are hypothetically "free-living", and could do the same thing as the original. Eventually, though, they specialize into different roles, changing their form and function to suit different roles in the body of the man o' war. Some of them produce carbon monoxide, which is like, a tenth of what fills the float (or pneumatophore, if you want to impress someone on a date sometime) on top of the organism, some allow it to reproduce, some can feed, and some are just Toxin Cells For Killing And Hurting. Anyways, it basically looks like one animal, but is technically a billion trillion [citation needed] tiny versions of the same zooid printing copies of itself.

TLDR: portuguese man o' war is kinda like osmosis jones, i think.

The Sea Creature of the Day is the Portuguese Man o' War!!!

aaaaaa!!! 🥰🥰🥰 i love these guys. researching them was what lead to my long lasting obsession with siphonophores after i saw one on a vacation as a child.

there's something oddly beautiful to me about their method of gathering food. just floating there with these incredibly painful danger noodles hanging below. and it's a siphonophore so it's like... an apartment building of people that's also one creature all peacefully waiting for the currents to take them to food. it's beautiful and so so so cool and i love them 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Animal of the Day!

Portuguese Man-of-War (Physalia physalis)

(Photo from Getty)

Conservation Status- Unlisted

Habitat- Eastern Atlantic Ocean; Indian Ocean

Size (Weight/Length)- 10 cm; 30 m tentacles

Diet- Small fish; Plankton; Shrimp

Cool Facts- Contrary to popular belief, the Portuguese Man-of-War is not a jellyfish. Instead, they are siphonophores. They are a colonial organism made up of tiny and uniquely functioning hydrozoans sort of like cells. Man-of-Wars float along the surface of the water, ensnaring food and using the wind to travel. Very few animals eat the Man-of-War, but their largest threat is the loggerhead turtle that has skin too thick for the Man-of-War’s venom to penetrate. The venom can injure humans and trigger an allergic reaction, however you’re more at the threat of drowning due to panic. Up to 10,000 people are stung every year but only a handful of the encounters end up being fatal.

Rating- 12/10 (Might want to carry vinegar with you when you’re swimming in Australia.)

Mon O' War, the Ghost Ship Pokémon

Ghost/Poison type

Its based on the Portuguese man o' war, a Jellyfish-like Siphonophorid composed of multiple organisms ('Zooids') living as one, its also based on Ghost Ships, Pirates and some niche manga you might not know about.

Slukraken, the Sea Monster Pokémon

Dark/Poison type

Based on the Sea Dragon Slug AKA Glaucus atlanticus, a poisonous sea slug that gets its toxins from eating Portuguese man o' wars, its also based on sea monsters like the kraken

I have revived an ancient splatoon oc. This is Reggie! He is a man o' war. Chill college dude/older brother type. His father is Jel La Fleur (either he looks like mom or is adopted... havent decided yet.) and his dad hates how he dresses so so much.

what if we were portugese man of war

This is all gonna be an autism fuelled rant abt the portugese man o war

These things are so cool. You ever heard of a colonial organism? These things are made up of zooids of BOTH polyps and medusae!! (Example, medusae make up jellyfish entirely and polyps make up anemone entirely) They're a fucking colony baby!!!

They're labeled as left handed or right handed based on which way their sail chambers curve, which completely changes the direction the wind takes them!! They're free floating, so the wind direction means a whole lot of difference. Like, yk how these things are infamous for being beached in mass amounts, stinging everyone on the sand? Well those masses likely all have the same handedness! All the men o war whos sail chambers that curved the other way in their bloom were taken a completely different direction!!

forgive me if i explained something wrong I'm not an expert I'm just autistic

November Mini Challenge 8/30

Another battlemech. I was quite today so the paint job was a little rushed. Might go back and touch it up eventually.

This is a Gargoyle, a Clan assault mech with the ability to go zoom. That is all
