Yesterday we saw this beauty, a Portuguese man o' war (Physalia Physalis). Despite its appearance, this is not a true jellyfish but a siphonophore, which is not a single multicellular organism, but a colonial organism made up of many specialized animals living in symbiosis.

The Dana octopus squid is an 8-armed squid whose tentacles are reduced or disappear by the time they reach adulthood. Also, those lidded photophores are the largest known light-producing organs found in any animal.

A phosphorescent glow emanates from the helmets of the adventuring party, giving a science-fiction vibe to this fantastical painting.
