Portuguese Man Of War

W.A.L.T Write an information report.

Portuguese Man Of War.

“Is That a balloon?”

People often say this when seeing this creature.

This lazy hunter has a peculiar resemblance to a balloon. Its shiny surface has a distinct coloration.

When seeing this wacky creature you might think again before picking up  “ Harmless Balloon” because there’s a chance that it could be a killer jellyfish.

This abnormal-animal is called the Portuguese Man Of War.

Appearance

The Portuguese Man Of War is a camouflaged killer.

These Balloon look-alikes have a blue and purple tinge to the outside of their bodies. The Portuguese Man Of War has deadly stingers on their tentacles that dangle under the water. The Man Of War Shimmers in the sun. The Portuguese Man Of War has a glass like shine on their bodies.

Habitat

The Portugues Man Of War is a warm water creature. The Man Of War’ has  a tendency to hang around tropical, warm and subtropical waters.

Man Of War float on the surface and smoothly glide to the current of the warm waters.

Places like Hawaii are the perfect environment for The Man Of War to accommodate. 

The Man Of War floats around collecting microorganisms called polyps.

How They Feed

The Portuguese Man Of War likes to be lazy. It lures fish into its long stingers where they get ELECTRIFIED and slowly digested. It can be accurately compared to getting entangled in a rope made of lightning. Anything that is unfortunate enough to find itself in the Man Of War’s death trap has a very slim chance of making it out alive.

This animal is truly fascinating because of its lazy lifestyle.
