Published in Daily Trivia
The jellyfish known as a Portuguese man-of-war is actually not a single animal. Rather, it's a colony of animals--made up of several hundred individuals of the same species. The members of the colony are adapted to perform different functions. One animal may form a float, while others provide the tentacles for fishing, and yet others digest the food caught by the tentacles. A fourth group is responsible for reproduction.
