The Man ‘O War is a stinging ocean creature commonly confused with a jellyfish. The interesting thing about the Man ‘O War is that they are a Siphonophorae and highly specialized to exist at the ocean’s surface. They are a colonial organism composed of specialized individual cells. The gas filled bladder at the top of the colony is a sail which pushes them around. Half of the colonies develop a right sail, and the other half a left sail. The difference in the sails is to prevent the entire population of a group from washing up onto shore. These creatures live until they eventually wash up on shore.
