The blue whale has been officially dethroned as the longest animal on earth*. In 2020, Schmidt Ocean Institute spotted this galaxy-shaped creature while doing an ROV dive off the coast of Australia. Based on their laser measurement system, they estimate the outer ring is 154 feet long...

Siphonophores are proof that collaboration isn’t just powerful—it’s essential for thriving in a challenging world. There’s wonder in ocean life, and caring for it helps us all. 💙

When you see a Portuguese man o' war or other siphonophores, you are not looking at an individual - instead, each of them is a colony made out of an aggregate of multiple, differentiated individuals.
Anyway, here's how sharks would look if they live like siphonophores. #SciArt 🦈

Siphonophores were yet another creature I first learnt about watching octonauts with my kids.

Siphonophores (pronounced “sigh-fawn-oh-fours”) are colonial creatures made up of specialized segments that work together as one.

Are siphonophores confusing? Yes. Are you unsure what it means to be composed of “clones,” and how a siphonophore can still be an individual?

mine are jellyfish and siphonophores theyre so strange and alien and siphonophores are so fascinating in how theyre not one animal but a colony of specialized animals... theyre very pretty and they come in so many different shapes... i think my favorites and the giant and woolly siphonophores

I have a 13 year old whose special interest is the marine science and whose favorite ocean animal category is siphonophores, so… I reckon I am in the 99th percentile of hearing about siphonophores lol. Join me!
