An Australian siphonophore.

..."What could be the longest animal ever recorded, a weird and wonderful sea creature 150 feet in length, has been caught on video for the first time by researchers of the coast of Australia. The siphonophore Apolemia was spotted by crew aboard the research vessel Falkor, as they plumbed the depths of deep-sea canyons in search of new species.

It proved to be a fruitful trip. The month-long expedition, funded by the Schmidt Ocean Institute, came up with new species large and small. In fact, as many as 30 new underwater species are believed to have been identified.

Most dramatic is the siphonophore Apolemia. Siphonophores are typically long, thin, transparent floaters, that occupy the open ocean. They emit light to lure in potential prey, and use jet propulsion to move through the water.

Is it one animal, or many?

What further distinguishes siphonophores, however, is that in reality they’re not officially one single organism. Instead, it’s a colonial organism, a collection of medusoid and polypoid zooids that gather into a functional colony. Different types of zooid have different roles: some help with propulsion, others with buoyancy, while others are for digestion or asexual reproduction.

In effect, the siphonophores clone themselves, producing a vast chain of specialized bodies that are usually genetically-identical. Despite the length, the siphonophore Apolemia is only around the thickness of a broomstick, the researchers say. The coiled layout is its feeding posture.

Whether officially considered a single living creature or not, it’s still a huge discovery by the Schmidt Ocean Institute team. “We suspected these deep sea areas would be diverse but we have been blown away by the significance of what we have seen,” Chief Scientist Dr. Nerida Wilson explained."...

Couldn't the same description be used for describing a human body. Genetically identical cells but functionally different, working as a colony?

Yeah but if some vivisectionist cuts you into little pieces, you probably wouldn't be able to then become autonomous little copies of yourself...

Yeah, but if the siphonophore is cut into little pieces and cooked, is it also delicious?

Never cooked...dried and cut into strips...pretty much tasteless...

My wife's version of the path I took walking home from the wine bar

It appears to possibly be SpaceX (or soviet) capsule aligning to dock to space station using some sort of algorithm that circles the station to slow down velocity of the capsule.

what baby siphonophores think,
Mom is really quite amazing, it's like she's everywhere all at once.

Kind of the path I took when I left home to be on my own.

A graph of the present world economy.

One thing we may learn from this pandemic is how much we can do without and still survive.

The world will adapt,but the previous economic level may be a long time coming.

Use this time to your advantage and you may discover this as a blessing in disguise...

Like Sir Isaac Newton?

Time well spent.

Where's Del... he should be at the end of the wool, while he/ owner of the wool ball was siphoning some necessary liquid off glass - with hints to Siphon o'more - or even o'fore, while Del completes the task - till the bare-end.
