Two days ago, Bizarre Beasts did an episode about dumbo jellyfish. Yesterday, SciShow did one on parasitic jellies. And now, Animalogic does one on Portuguese men-o'-war? Is it National Squishy Stinger Appreciation Month or something? XD
I may be mistaken but I think Bizarre Beasts’ episode was on the dumbo octopus. But I didn’t hear about the SciShow’s one, so I’ll have to check that out! Thanks!
If its not, we should start it! Sometimes youtubers on a topic influence each other. The best example I've seen is the way the Great War and WWII channels walking through the wars week by week just HAPPEN to have other channels covering the big stories right around the same time that the video scheduled years in advance comes out. I'm unsure if the effect is the other youtubers being reminded and getting interested, a desire to coast off the other creator's hype, or a knowledge that you can get the algorithm excited about a topic and drive more views for everyone. Logically, all three are probably happening.
I got stung by one of these when I was 9 living in South Africa. It was painful I tell you. Yet I don't hate them. Also I tried picking them up on a beach clean-up thinking it was a piece of plastic only for my friend to shout out, "That's a jellyfish!" Thankfully I didn't pick it up. Don't blame turtles for mistaking plastic bags for jellyfish or Man o' Wars, because I did.
2:54 THIS!! THIS RIGHT HERE! I'd always wondered it. "Their cells are different just like ours are! Why are they a colony! What is different about them?" But I knew there WAS an answer, I just didn't know what it was. I clicked on this knowing you'd help me understand and you did! Bravo!!
The glass sculpture analogy is very apt, because at the Guernsey Museum in St. Peter Port I saw glass sculptures of jellyfish made by an artist as study objects because jellies can’t be preserved like other animals.
We call them blue blisters in one of our languages. Damn painfull and it feels like forever before the pain subsides and no, having someone pee on it does not help.
@@GooleyMadness I got curious and looked it up, actually it's particularly difficult to keep! Found a paper from 2006 saying that none had been kept successfully up to that point and suggesting some improvements. From what I gathered, they need to be kept from bumping into the aquarium sides because otherwise the float part gets damaged, and the tentacles get very long too so it needs a deep aquarium. More complicated than that, but to put it simply. The setup of the aquariums was as such: "The prototype aquarium increased longevity, up to four to seven times that of previous attempts, and promoted natural behaviours. Inside the aquarium six acrylic containment cylinders, each containing one Portuguese man-of-war, held the animals away from the sides and the force of water being drawn down through the cylinders retained the centred position of the specimens" That seems complicated and expensive, not really for a hobby keeper and more for a research aquarium. And 4-7x longer doesn't sound particularly long either...
@@lachouette_et_le_phoque I really genuinely appreciate you going through the trouble of looking all that up! Thinking about all the preventative measures that would go into keeping it from damaging itself, feeding it, removing it to clean the tank, finding a tank deep enough in the first place -- I guess it would be incredibly difficult
@@lachouette_et_le_phoque that sounds less like an enclosure and more like the lore for a containment unit from a scifi video game where you have to collect and research aliens.
As someone who lives in South Florida, I’m all too familiar with this creature and its capabilities. What I didn’t know is that it’s actually a living fortress with multiple organisms residing within. Furthermore, I was thinking the exact same thing about the relationship of the fish and the man o’ war that has a similar effect of the clownfish with sea anemones. I rarely see them since I go to the beach on certain times of the year, depending on the circumstances. With this episode, you assured me of what I need to watch for. Thank you, Dufault
I grew up with these f*ers as a regular annoyance, and their stings *hurt*. Probably my worst experience with them was one time doing an ocean swim practice, one managed to slip it's tentacle down the neck of my rash guard (which I specifically wore to prevent stings!) and I had to bat it away with my hands. This happened at the beginning of practice, so I then had to do 2 hours of swimming with my rash guard rubbing up against the sting. When I was done, my neck was chafed so badly I was contemplating wearing turtlenecks until it healed, or at least a scarf.
Been stung on Crandon Park Beach on Ket Biscane in Miami. I nearly died from just a tiny spot on my leg. Hurt doesn't begin to describe the pain those things cause. I was 6 at the time I was stung and I can remember the doctors frantically scrambling around the ER trying to figure out what to do until mom said what it was that stung me. Their whole tune changed to literally delivering enough beds until my body relaxed enough that they could stick a tube down my throat so I could breathe
Over the last several years there have been a handful of sightings at some beaches on the south shore of Nova Scotia. I used to live here until I was 21, moved away for 15 years and when I came back I was warned about them, they were never around when I was younger.
We get a similar one here. I think they call them 'by the wind sailors'. "Its only known species is Velella velella, a cosmopolitan free-floating hydrozoan that lives on the surface of the open ocean. It is commonly known by the names sea raft, by-the-wind sailor, purple sail, little sail, or simply Velella"
Woah Danielle looking like she's about to go to a gala! Normally I wouldn't comment on appearance, but your hair looks great! Also, love basically anything oceanographic or marine in general. Siphonophores have always been fascinating to me, along with the cnidarians - would love to see more ocean adjacent vids in future!
@@xonx209 It's really hard to pop. Kinda like how it's really hard to damage the heart with a stab. Strong membranes have a resistant mix of strength and give.
When I first heard of salps, I thought they were siphonophores because they're also squishy, marine organisms that stick together. It was only this year that I learned they were tunicates. As in, the closest living relatives to vertebrates. You're welcome.
I was told of Blue Bottles when on the beach in South Africa. I had no idea they were Man O’ Wars. Lucky as I did not get stung as I thought they were just pointing out more sea life.
When I was about 15 years old, I lived in Miami Beach, Florida. My best friend and I used to go snorkeling all the time (including every day of Christmas vacation). We used to see man o' wars (men o' war?) all the time. One time, a family of tourists was getting really close to one and we started shouting at they to move back, but they ignored us (teenage boys are better seen than heard, I guess) until they started get stung.
Jet skis can chop up the stinging tentacles. This means, if you walk along the shore you won’t necessarily see anything before you step on a piece. I did. It was a sting to the arch of my bare foot. So powerful I fell down. Welt and annoying pain lasted about 2 weeks.
Growing up on Sydney beaches, we always called them "bluebottles". I was really surprised when I found out they were the same as the "Deadly Portuguese Man-of-War" you'd hear about in media and books from the northern hemisphere. I mean, they were annoying and bloody painful if you got stung, but they were just bluebottles! But then I also grew up in prime Tigersnake and Funnelweb Spider territory, so...
Sometime last century, I was swimming down in Miami when I realized I was being yelled at from the beach. I turned around to a huge Man O'War drifting close by. I never swam so fast in my life!
When I used to live in Hawaii, every time you turned, you’d see AT LEAST one of these little guys floating on by. I always got stung by them but weirdly, it was only ever around my ankles and wrists
@@viridhornet5722 Well, how I imagine it; you couldn't just Willy nilly float without a care in the world, since there must be at least one of these guys floatin' somewhere. So much for relaxation.
@@thebotanist7145 ohhh I see what you mean now lol, but if you stay alert and look around you every couple minutes you’ll be alright. My sister was terrified of them but was able to avoid em pretty well
They’re beautiful, I love seeing them. I had no idea they’re a COLONY!😮 My question is - how do the nutrients get dispersed to all of the different neighborhoods of the “creature “?
One of my art teachers got stung by one of these animals when she went to the beach. Even if only her finger got stung, it was still a painful experience for her. Overall Portuguese Man-o-wars may be beautiful, but they are extremely dangerous.
vinegar works and it works great for that matter. if u dont want a grove into your skin that turns into a scar then pour vinegar as soon as possible. same goes for jellyfish stings. the acid helps to neutralise the needles injected into your skin.
got stung by these twice in the same week, one sting left a mark snaking around my shoulder blades and down my left bicep. Gotta love Queensland beaches.
Fascinating content as always! Thank you for inspiring people to want to learn about the natural world! (And inspiring me to want to create educational wildlife content as well!)
You're never to old too learn a new thing, I'd thought Portuguese Man O' War was a Jellyfish but their so much more unique than I believed. Living way down East on the globe, we don't have many toxic terrors lurking in the water or beaches but a few that'll give nasty side-effects, to 24hr parallelization of limbs & immense pain if stung or bitten by them.
I'm an Aussie and we call them "blue bottles"...y'know, because they're blue...and we very often get waves of them coming into beaches on the tides. They're lovely in the water buuuuuut not when you're also in the water, to which I can attest. Got tentacles wrapped around my knee and the first thing I felt was this sensation like an enormous slap...and then the awful, persistent burning that lasted a couple days. Very unpleasant. And I can definitely see how it could kill you if you got stung on the face or the throat.
I have yet to see one irl but have always been scared ever since I saw a warning sign. It has no brain, and therefore cannot feel remorse for stinging you, or fear of death for approaching you. Extremely dangerous plastic bag
Can you explore a marine animal from the salish sea? Wolf eel, pacific octopus, rockfish? Maybe an animal we eat like crabs, salmon, halibut, etc? Love the channel!
I'm from Bermuda, and yea, we get a lot of them, usually in August when the water is warmest. Growing up here, you learn quick to spot them floating while at the beach and avoid them.
Again, great video! Suggestion: Can you please cover how Narwhales (Monodon monoceros) or Saw fish (Pristis pristi) grow their "horn" / saw? Are they born with it? Does it start to grow when they mature? Do males & females have one? Realused that I have no idea & would love to learn more!
the first time we saw these on the beach in mayaro when we were children, we though they were toys that some rich kid left behind by accident, and we played with them. there was a woman sitting in the surf, just peeling the tentacles off her skin, no stinging.
Come to think of it, putting part of the body out of the water surface through out life is very unique, to say the least. What makes they happy in doing so?
