From ESW's "Mad Scientifical Chemistry" Collection is this Special Science Beaker that contains ONE of the DEADLIEST CREATURES IN the world… A baby Portuguese MAN O' WAR JELLYFISH!
The Man O' War JellyFish (also known as Physalia) is part of a complex hydrozoan colony and features a hat-like float and tentacle. Its venomous tentacles can deliver a powerful sting. The name "Man O' War" is taken from the man-of-war, a 16th century English armed sailing ship that was based on an earlier Portuguese vessel. Despite its outward appearance, the man o' war is not a true jellyfish… it's actually a siphonophore, which differs from the jellyfish in that it is not actually a single creature, but a colonial organism!
This Man O' War is a mature wise one, as its shades of beautiful purple colors were starting to develop. This jellyfish has seen the world and is now it's ready to retire in someone's home.
