Portuguese man o' war
The Atlantic Portuguese man o' war (''Physalia physalis''), also known as the Man-of-war, bluebottle, or floating terror, is a marine cnidarian of the family Physaliidae. Its venomous tentacles can deliver a painful sting. Despite its outward appearance, the Portuguese man o' war is not a common jellyfish but a siphonophore, which is not actually a single multicellular organism, but a colony of specialized minute individuals called zooids. These zooids are attached to one another and physiologically integrated to the extent that they are incapable of independent survival.
==Etymology==
The name "man o' war" comes from the man-of-war, an 18th-century armed sailing ship, and the cnidarian's supposed resemblance to the Portuguese version at full sail. In other languages it is simply known as the 'Portuguese war-ship' ((オランダ語:portugees oorlogsschip), (スウェーデン語:portugisisk örlogsman), (ノルウェー語:portugisisk krigsskip), (フィンランド語:portugalinsotalaiva)), the 'Portuguese galley' ((ドイツ語:portugiesische Galeere), (ハンガリー語:portugál gálya)), the 'Portuguese caravel' ((ポルトガル語:caravela portuguesa), (スペイン語:carabela portuguesa), (イタリア語:caravella portoghese)), or the 'Portuguese little boat' ((ロシア語:португальский кораблик)).
