The deadly tentacles of the Portuguese man o' war | Blue Planet II - BBC One

Subscribe and 🔔 to the BBC 👉 bit.ly/BBCKZbinSub
Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer-Home Over half of all animals in the open ocean drift in currents. Jellyfish cross entire oceans feeding on whatever happens to tangle with their tentacles. The jelly-like Portuguese man-of-war can harness sail power to fish with its deadly tentacles.
The big blue is the world's greatest wilderness, far from shore and many kilometres deep. It's a vast marine desert where there is little to eat and nowhere to hide. Yet it's home to some of the biggest and most spectacular creatures on earth.
This episode reveals what it takes to survive in this savage and forbidding world. We witness feats of incredible endurance, moments of high drama and extraordinary acts of heart-wrenching self-sacrifice.

They played it because of the ship named the Man O' War

[@louiscypher4186]

Fun fact the Portuguese man o war isn't actually a jelly fish. they are siphonophore's is a colony of smaller animals the float the reproduction even the tentacles (which themselves can be divided up between digestion and attacking) are separate animals fused together. It's basically a very small floating carnivorous city.

Almost everyone who grew up in south Florida along the coast has a story about these things. For me I always knew not to mess with them but I had one drift up to me while surfing once and brushed up against several tentacles with my foot. My whole foot ached but my toes were the most painful. They were throbbing like someone had smacked them with a hammer. If you get it real bad the tentacles can actually break off while stuck to you. Instinctually you'll try to grab them with your hand to remove them and now your hands are stung as well.

Once I was on a snorkelling venture in the Bermuda Triangle (i was about 14) and the tour guides said to look out for a jellyfish that looks like a plastic bag floating on the water. They said it would be super rare and that they had never encountered one. After about 5 minutes in the water, somebody spotted the floating bag and we all came scrambling back to the boat. The scary part is how long their tentacles are and they don't even look that big from first glance

I was (indirectly) stung by one of these in Cuba. Even with no apparent contact, I had a very painful rash all over my body for more than a month afterward. Can't imagine how agonizing a direct sting must be.

[@ShadowFungus]

The effect varies from person to person. I was stung by it on my arm once when i was 15, my uncles washed it off with vinegar and hot compressed it for a day and it subsided on the next night.

[@leminjapan]

@@ShadowFungus I poked what I thought was a plastic bag washed up on the beach. The next day, I had mosquito bite-like spots on my right hand. They spread up my right arm the next day, then down my left, to my legs, then eventually my entire body. They kept multiplying in number for a week or two. Not long after arriving back in Canada & hitting the cold, they swelled to the size of marbles & my skin felt like it was on fire. It was the kind of pain that just makes you feel helpless cause painkillers can't even touch it. Still not 100% sure if it was a man o' war, but in years of googling that's the only thing that even remotely resembles the thing I saw.

These are very common on Australian beaches and their stings are bad but mainly just a nuisance. Many wash up on beaches and kids run around popping them with their boards... (the top bit is only about an inch)

[@peashooter8228]

Just like Joe from Australia says, They're also very common along the Gulf of of Mexico also. We''d do the same as kids on the beaches of Texas. We'd also get stung too. They hurt like hell, but we would always bring along a bottle of meat tenderiser-(from our kitchen spice cabinet) to put on the red raised marks to instantly take the pain away.. Not sure how it worked? But it does.. Works on Jellyfish stings too. *If someone has been stung so much that they have bad headache or throwing up, Take them to the hospital! .
