WHERE DID THE PORTUGUESE MAN Ó WAR GET ITS NAME? ?

The Atlantic Portuguese man o' war, also known as the man-of-war, blue bottle, or floating terror, is a marine hydrozoan of the family Physaliidae found in the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Wikipedia

Scientific name: Physalia physalis

Phylum: Cnidaria

Did you know: The name "man o' war" comes from the man-of-war, an 18th-century armed sailing ship, and the cnidarian's supposed resemblance to the Portuguese version at full sail. wikipedia.org

This is a Portuguese man-of-war at dawn. The venomous Portuguese man-of-war is not a jellyfish but a siphonophore, a colonial animal made up of specialised individuals working together. It is also known as ‘floating terror’ as it sails with the wind, trailing tentacles that can deliver a vicious sting - painful to humans but paralysing for fish ?
