@@Ched241animated is the wrong word, but rather staged. Especially the close ups would be near impossible in the wild, so often they use aquariums etc. To get detail in.
When I was a kid, I got entangled in a Man O'War's tentacles on a vacation to the Gulf of Mexico. Even though I was only about 4 years old, (I am 67 now) I vividly remember the hot burning pain of the sting. They may be beautiful, but they are something everyone should do their best to avoid.
The jellyfish sequence is sooo gorgeous! Our camera crew went for a swim in a beautiful lake of jellyfish! It looks like something from another planet, it's a lagoon that was cut off from the ocean long ago, and that's why it became home to unique species like stingless jellyfish.
I'm also surprised that the tentacles grew to such lengths without another evolutionary pressure curtailing that. I just looked up some of its natural predators and _Glaucus atlanticus_ looks otherworldly too. Amazing.
@@Jeffersonwazright This is the problem of those who have no scientific training thinking oneself to be qualified to have an opinion about science.

@@N_Ides Evolution is in no case the most probable explanation and there is surely no good evidence. It is just a pseudo scientific theory that people would like to believe.

The stings leave a red mark, usually rope-liike patterns of liquid fire that cannot be extinguished quickly enough to deter the intense pain that consumes the world of the victim for the next several hours. The patterns remain after the pain, sometimes leaving marks for years. Even long after death and disintegration of the man-o-war, the particles of tentacles can sting unprotected skin of barefoot beach walkers
I want a cartoon with a man o' war being represented as a crew of a fishing ship. Possessing sailer accents and each respective zooid has a name after the parts of a ship depending on their job (for example the tentacles would each be named "net" or something similar, we got sail as the gas bladder and so on). We would get situations like "Put up Sail!" and then Sail would reply with "On it!" and inflate
I've been a victim of this creature from Hell. The pain is impossible to describe. It felt like my thigh was desintegrating inside a huge pot of molten iron.
This leaves out what, to me, is the most fascinating fact about the man o’war: it’s not one animal, but a colony of several individual organisms acting collectively.
I live in the Canary Island, near Azores. Not rare to see them on the sand drying out. You go 30 times to the beach, you will find on average 4 or 5 times if you pay atention. I am 40 years old, never heard about anyone getting hurt by them, not in the water nor in the sand.
I hate jellyfish. When I was living in VA Beach, I was swimming when I saw a hoard of them, heading my way. I swam as fast as I could for shore but the harder I swam...it seemed I was drawing them in towards me. I finally made it without getting stung.
@@joesimmons7195 Hehe. yep of course. It was more of a tongue in cheek comment regarding the absolutely "alien" life so abundant in the ocean...especially all the undiscovered ones deep deep below.
Portuguese Man O' War is called a "Carabela Portuguesa" in Spanish because it resembles a famous vessel used by Spain and Portugal to navigate the oceans during the 14th and 15th centuries 😮😮😮
How the cameraperson(s) got that close, for so long is....remarkable. I encountered these little monsters diving often in Bermuda and they were much more scary than deep sea barracuda.
*The Portuguese man o' war is a highly venomous marine animal that is often mistaken for a jellyfish. It has long tentacles that can extend up to 165 feet and deliver a painful and potentially lethal sting. Despite its name, the Portuguese man o' war is not actually a single organism, but rather a colony of specialized individuals working together for survival. It is important to exercise caution when encountering this creature in the ocean.*
The name is not referring to a single cell organism. A man o'war is a heavy loaded ship with a lot of men and cannons and was mainly propelled by sails. Source: In Royal Navy jargon, a man-of-war (also man-o'-war, or simply man)[1][2] was a powerful warship or frigate of the 16th to the 19th century. Although the term never acquired a specific meaning, it was usually reserved for a ship armed with cannon and propelled primarily by sails, as opposed to a galley which is propelled primarily by oars.
Quem diria uma parte à superfície tão brilhante e bonita ...mas tão mortifera e esquisita na nomenclatura!! Que criatura alienígena!! Maravilhoso cenário de um céu ...
I grew up in southeast Texas and these would always be on the beach. When I was very young, one of them went up my trunks' pantleg and got tangled up with my goods. It was very painful
I also grew up in SE TX. Went to Crystal Beach nearly every weekend during summer. How I managed to avoid getting stung, I’m not really certain. Plenty of my friends did get stung (sometimes by a dead one washed up on the beach). It was obviously the worst pain they’d ever felt up to that point in their lives.
If I ever won the lottery this dude would narrate my life. “The man finally wakes up. Hung over, but in good spirits. Enzymes in his belly craves Taco Bell.”
playing pirates of the caribbean music would be more entertaining and i have had the privilege of being stung many times by the portugese man of war as a lifeguard in florida for 20 years....lots of pain and slight burn like marks for weeks ..FUN TIMES
I was once stung by it. It had washed into my jeans and I had crushed it on my knee. Uff. My aunt scrap it out, stings all wrapped around my knee. And then came the sharp pain. It was excruciating. It rose high. And then my groin was on fire. Balls, Penis, bladder every inch ached. It persisted until I peed. And only after that it started to subside. Leaving gashes on my leg and bitter memories of pain.
My sister encountered this weird powerful creature. Treatment was constantly rubbing freshly grated coconut on your skin until the sensation disappears
Having been stung by these things 50+ times now, it's like saying "The Deadly Honey Bee." Last time was literally this past weekend. Box jellyfish are more dangerous/deadly. People get stung by these things all the time in HI and it never makes the news because NOBODY dies. Even had one wrap around me a few times. Ended up looking like a candy cane.
I'm more afraid of these than a shark. A shark bite (baby sand sharks) hurt for maybe 5 minutes. Stepping on a tentacle from one of these, the pain lasts for days!
The Man O' War is not a single organism, but a group of animals that are clones of each other, born together and form together like Voltron. Each individual plays a different role and they behave as one.
With it’s tentacles being so dangerous, it makes you wonder why it evolved that way. Was there a predator that a lower level of stinging wouldn’t kill, therefore eating all of them?
The trend of "Small ambush predator having ridiculous venom that can kill 300 whales just to take on a mouse" Its actually mostly the result of the prey. With prey being few and far between thanks to their sit and wait strategy, you have to make darn sure you catch what viable food comes by, this with the added problem of the fact that their prey is often very dangerous. A rattlesnake for example is a long exposed sausage that has to take on a highly athletic mouse with powerful jaws. If the venom acted slowly theres more than enough time for the mouse to bite any part of its long body before going down, or even miraculously escaping. Since they can go without food for a long time its best to put a lot of resources into having lots of really deadly venom to ensure that what you catch stays caught and is caught safely. Theres no such thing as overkill, especially if you are a man o' war: A bunch of jelly animals trying to catch tiny torpedoes called fish.
A ,"man o' war" is an archaic term for a well armed war ship. Though I'm not positive... the jelly fish of the same name may have derived its name from being the animal world's version of a well armed ship...including sail and weapons!!!
Blue Bottle, as kids, we'd sting each other with them, excruciating initially, but you do get used to it. Dropped one down the front of my mates sluggos once. Didn't end to well he ended up in hospital for a couple of weeks with the biggest set of nuts I've ever seen even to this day & that was on a 10 year-old.
I just got triggered! Back in the 70s when I was a bikini babe ny family and I went to Bora Bora. We were on a snorkeling trip by boat. The instructor was this tall muscular brown mustache hunk. Auntie was swooning. We were on the edge of a rocky coral and he suddenly had this dead look on his face and said. “Don’t panic but their is a swarm of jellyfish (box I believe) and it’s floating to our direction we have 5 minutes to swim to the boat or we will for sure die painfully!” Suddenly a bunch of fish start facing passing us, some pumping into our torso, I swear I even saw a big sea turtle and dolphin racing in a panic, I look down and it’s like a beautiful crimson blanket. We all swam as fast as Micheal Phelps . They were inches away from our toes it was terrifying. I am so glad we didn’t have grandma or any of the kids with us then. When we got to our boat the whole surface was covered in these beautiful but deadly animals. This planet and life are sure worth saving and living.🌎🌍🌏
IF you want to know what it feels like take steel wires, put the in an oven, set to broil and press against your legs. I got stung by one when I was 6 and had scars that lasted well into my teens.

Evolutionary adaptation of this animal is simply amazing. Who would have guessed they have a mechanism that can be used as a sail for mobility?
