The Portuguese man o' war looks like a jellyfish, but it is actually a colony of many tiny linked animals that work together as one. It drifts on the surface of the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans, and its long tentacles sting prey. Its sting is painful to people, and in some cases it can kill them.1

Ihlala
Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans; drifts with winds and currents and can be washed onto beaches.1

Ekhaya
It lives on the surface of the water, as part of a group of animals called the neuston. Winds can blow it into bays or onto beaches, where beachgoers are most likely to meet it. A man o' war found on a beach may lead to the beach being closed.1

Sidlani?

Indlela yokusibona

  • A gas-filled bladder called the pneumatophore floats on the surface and acts as a sail.1
  • Long tentacles, which can reach over 30 m, hang below the surface.1
  • The float can be up to 30 cm long, 13 cm wide and 15 cm tall.1
  • Groups can be large, sometimes over 1,000 animals.1
  • The sail may be left- or right-handed, depending on the way the wind catches it.1

Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: It superficially resembles a jellyfish, but it is a siphonophore, a colonial animal made of many smaller units called zooids.1

Amandla obuthi

Ama-tentacle ahlabayo

Izinkulungwane zamaseli amancane ahlabayo ziyadubula uma kukhona okuzithintayo.

Ubuthi baso benzani?

Its tentacles carry nematocysts, tiny coiled, thread-like stingers that inject venom on contact. The venom can paralyse small fish and other prey. The sting is powerful enough to kill fish, crustaceans and, in some cases, humans.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Its stings are painful and it is well known to beachgoers. In some cases the sting can kill humans. Large groups can also reduce fish populations and damage fishing supplies.1

Senzani uma sesabile?

When attacked at the surface, it can deflate its pneumatophore and temporarily submerge.1

Uma sihlaba

  • Phuma emanzini bese ukhipha noma yimiphi imicu ehlabayo (ama-tentacle) (ngamagilavu noma ngendwangu).
  • Kuma-box jellyfish asezindaweni ezishisayo: thela uviniga ezindaweni ezihlatshiwe okungenani imizuzwana engama-30, biza usizo futhi ulungele ukwenza i-CPR. Kuma-bluebottle nakwamanye amaningi: hlanza ngamanzi olwandle, bese usebenzisa amanzi ashisayo ngenxa yobuhlungu.

Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala

Hlala uphephile

  • Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
  • Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
  • Uma sikuhlaba: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.

Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Yizibalo nje kusiphequluli sakho. Akukho okulondolozwayo noma okuthunyelwa ndawo.

Amaqiniso

1

It is not a single animal. It is a colony of zooids, all genetically identical, that work together like organs in one body.1

2

The blanket octopus is immune to its venom and uses broken tentacles as weapons.1

3

Its float can produce carbon monoxide, which makes up as much as 13% of the gas inside it.1

4

The loggerhead sea turtle eats it regularly, because its thick skin protects it from the stings.1

5

The man-of-war fish can live among its tentacles and feeds on them, while avoiding being stung.1

Umqothuli wezinganekwane

Inganekwane: It is a jellyfish.

Iqiniso: It only looks like a jellyfish. It is a siphonophore, a colony of many linked zooids.1
