Man to Monster
Had watched something on tv today on Discovery Channel. Something about how some animals will be like in 100million years time. Kind of scary..... but it's ok I won't be around by that time *phew*.
One of the 'creatures' mentioned was the ' Man of War' also known as the Physalia physalis (Greek for air bubble). This floating jellyfish like creature is actually a colony of 4 polyps. What freaked me out was the expected size of this thing in 100million years. It grows really really huge....a freaky floating colony that eats anything in its path. It's not picky about food as long as it gets all its protein. It reached the lenght of 30 feet!!...which will explain the name given to it: Monster of War. Anyway.... if you want to know more about the current man of war...check out the site on BlueBottle Man of War.
