Portuguese Man-O-War


It was quite windy today, so the waves brought in several of these weird creatures. If they sting you they cause a painful swelling. See the tentacles on the left side? (blue). Those can reach 250 yards,... that is why they say to steer clear of them if you see them in the water. They can get you from a very long distance. I saw some in the water, but mostly on the beach. Needless to say, I didn't get my feet wet today. *lol*
