I like how he just casually mentions and refuses to elaborate about the swimming eyeballs called Spaghetti Monsters.

"You dont wanna touch these." -touches it, a lot-

WTF ARE SPAGHETTI MONSTERS

“And the other thing i found are spaghetti monsters”” Excuse me WHAT

I got stung on my side by one of these almost 50 years ago. It actually left small scars. They look like faint freckles.

This is EXACTLY the kinds of videos that ends up in my recommended the night before a beach trip

Dude just out here finding floating eyes

An hour after being placed back in the water, this creature had regained its strength and began attacking swimmers. Soon the bodies of children began washing up on shore. By the time the coast guards arrived to put it down, at least 38 people were already injured or dead. Thanks Tom. Thanks a lot.

Watching you kiss your hand right after complaining about the sting on your hands is blowing my mind

this is what youtube is supposed to be, Keep making more videos like this!

Joking aside, in warm tropical waters, stinger suits are your friend. There are also sting-preventive sun lotions that utilize ingredients inspired by the mucus secreted by clownfish that protects them from getting stung by their anemone homes!

I didn't expect it to still be alive after you grabbed it from the sand

Imagine being recorded without your permission and getting called “not a true jellyfish” *edit* bro who invited all the people who didn’t laugh?

Man o wars, quicksand, and things that glow in the dark where my 3 biggest obsessions as a child.

I have been stung by fire coral and dead jellyfish… man that was is never fun. And the man o’ war is fabled to have a more painful sting than any jellyfish, and here you are risking getting stung over and over. You are a brave one! Thank you for showing us this beautiful creature.

"Don't touch the sail" - moments before lifting it by the sail.

great shot. speaking so well while lying on your chest is pretty impressive

When I was 8yrs old my Family and I went to Hawaii for my Grandmother's Funeral. We went snorkling @ Hanauma bay. The next day, the entire bay was evacuated because a swarm of Man O' War had breached the barrier and came into the bay. Several people were stung and had to be hospitalized. We dodged a bullet.

Man O War, 3:18 Spaghetti monsters, 6:43 Blue dragon, 7:02 Blue button, 7:08 By-the-wind-sailor, 7:14 Purple storm snail. All very beautiful, I think I slept on invertebrates

Very cool! Those close up shots of the tentacles are mesmerizing.

I've always heard of these but never seen one. I thought they were just jellyfish but now I realize they're much more fascinating. Thank you

This creature is a lot more agile than I was expecting. It Was really cool seeing one right next to a human

I've seen this on the beach in Miami as a kid multiple times thankfully curiosity did not take control..

"I'm dying over here. Can you please put me in the water?" - Man of War

I came across these at Midway Island on a layover in the Navy and didn't know what these were. I had a "T" skirt on and swam among them and enjoyed the beautiful blue color. I guess one of their tentacles laid across my back and stung me through my skirt. The tentacles were about 20' long. Fortunately it was minor. The sailors that were stationed there told me they were Blue Bottles. I later learned the Blue Bottle was the same as the Man-of-wars. So I was stung by a Man-of-war.

At 4:13, the closeup of those tentacles looks like some kind of Lovecraft Cosmic Horror being, very impressive

Just another reason why I stick to fresh water. 😂 Seriously though, that is a beautiful, strange creature. Glad I can enjoy it from the safety of an office chair.

Didn’t know they could “contaminate” surfaces they touch and you can get stung. If it’s in the open water, could you get stung without touching any part of it because of that? Like some micro piece of tentacle or stingy bit breaks off and touches you?

90ft is 27.5m.

Awesome youtube video! No introduction, no ads, just straight to the point. You earned a sub!

A few moments in and I learned the bladder moves

I'm so happy I can watch this behind a screen, in the comfort of my own home, safely.

i love videos like this, its so important to remain vigilant when you're in an ecosystem that isn't your own. Knowledge is very important.

First time we encountered this, we thought it was just floating plastic with threads entangled. It was the size of a big toenail. The sting hurt!

I saw loads of these guys for the first time only a couple of years ago, Cornwall - England St Michaels Mount. There were easily about 200+ washed up on the beach. They are incredible, learned a lot more through this video. Thanks buddy!

One of my favorite organism, it's just so weird and beautiful.

Thank you for the information. I used to live in fort Lauderdale and I saw the beach covered. I was living there in the late 80s.

I was in Bimini a few months ago and saw these washed up everywhere on the beach. Such an absolutely alien creature, like nothing we normally see. The intensity of the blue color at the base of the balloon is extreme and rarely seen in nature.

Thank you for saving this beautiful and precious creature.

These thigs are so cool. I've only ever looked at 'em floating by, seeing this up close and personal is just awesome!

I didn't think very much of these until I got all stung up by one, and now I find them quite impressive

I picked up one of these from the sand when I was 5 years old thinking it was a balloon. The excruciating pain that filled my entire arm I can still remember to this day.

Thank you! I miss the beach and ocean so much!

Great job, thanks for the education!

I miss the ocean. Great content! Subscribed.

That is something amazing. Thanks for taking the time to make an edit.

I remember seeing these every once in a while when my family spent time in Gulf Shores. The length of some of their tenticles can be insane

Really great video, I have a new appreciation for the noble man o' war

didn't expect that you could be stung by those stingers outside of the tentacles. that was really interesting

Siphonophores are so fascinating to me.

Educational and Informed. Great job.

Thanks for the info letting us know that it can leave stingers behind!

We found one on the beach of the outer banks a few years ago. It was still alive and moving but not near the water (the tide had gone out). We knew what it was and that it could potentially sting you. With a nearby shovel we gently scooped it up and put it back in the water. No idea if that was the right thing to do or not, but we thought it was at the time. Those tentacles are mezmerizing but I had no idea they could grow that long!

Ouch! Those hurt, especially if they manage to wrap between the toes.

This one thanks you for your insightful information on their kind.

What a trooper...... Excellent narration and video.

this is still nightmare fuel...

This think looks like an alien. I've never heard of that species. Earth got some amazing creatures!

Siphonophores are so cool looking. Ever since seeing a picture of one of these as a kid I've been fascinated. It's so cool to see it move. I wonder how it chooses directions.

Never heard of these before but VERY beautiful to see from a safe distance 😅 very informative as well!

Obligatory lyrics for this video: (Man o' war) We met on English ground In a backstage room We heard the sound And we all knew What we had to do We called the high command Requested leave to make a stand And in the field we grew And we all knew Soon the time would come For us to fight, Destination Now in sight Aaah, Manowar Born to live forever more The right to conquer every shore Hold your ground and give no more Our fight will never end So we call on partisans To raise your hands And take our stand Look sharp When duty calls Where we march Cities fall And the strong survive And take our side Now the time has come For us to fight Target waiting In our sight Aaah, Manowar Born to live forever more The right to conquer every shore Hold your ground and give no more Manowar Born to live forever more The right to conquer every shore Manowar Born to live forever more Manowar Born to live forever more The right to conquer every shore Hold your ground and give no more Born to live forever more The right to conquer every shore Manowar

Is there a way to buy one of the posters you showed a couple videos ago?

Such amazing creatures, nature is more alien than anything I could create in my head!

That was thoroughly enjoyable! Hope you didn't get stung too bad!

Some inaccuracies here: Carbon dioxide, not monoxide It's not made of 4 different animals, they're all the same animal, but they take different forms depending on where they are in the colony. Kinda like a colony of ants will have individuals with different body types for different jobs.

Thanks for a personal closeups boss❤

Thanks for this informative video!

Great informative video, Jace!!

"Whee!" is not the word I would use to describe the dangly bits on that thing.

what are the spaghetti monsters actually named??? i've tried to search for them to show them to my family but all i get is the same image of a deep sea jellyfish looking creature and that one joke painting

Great video man I learned alot about a creature I've known of for a long time.

Lovely, short and informative, will love to see more❤+1

Whoa did it actually move to anticipate that wave coming in at 0:20? That was really surprising as I had no idea they were that mobile! Edit: Thanks for that explanation a bit later. Amazing video! I had no idea!

0:05 - Homie turned into Trump with that gravely voice and hand gestures.

So awesome! I love nature

Excellent video my dude loved it

dont touch it as he continues to touch it and gets stung ... as a kid i saw them in Mass. and R.I. and never touched them !

The fact that they eat these is more reason to love turtles.

pretty educational video, thanks man

The Man o’ war is my favorite non jellyfish jellyfish. They look pretty beautiful to me in water. Especially the ones with the long, long tentacles.

if you are laying on the sand, and the stings go through your shirt into your stomach, how the heck are you not feeling it on your bare feet? considering that, your feet were in the same spot that your stomach was. This, perplexes me.

I also hope you removed that piece of debris from the beach, especially after it had been used to scoop up the man-o-war.

I got stung by one of these things when I was 9, I was in Bermuda and when I ran into the water it wrapped around my right foot and up my ankle. The barbs hurt quite a lot, the staff at the beach took them all out it went away after 7 hours but I never forgot the shooting pains.

great information and amazing footage :o

Awesome dude, thanks!

Thank you you tube recommendations. I sometimes forget how crazy ocean life is

Really glad i found your channel, i love the ecosystem of the ocean and its animals, especially ones that can appear on shore. Hope your channel grows exponentially judging by how the algorithm found your video!

These are very beautiful animals

these are so beautiful

This is great content!

this is really cool, ive heard of them before but ive never actually seen one on video

Nice educational clip love it

This is the best close up video I've ever seen of a man of ware (Blue Bottle) !

Such a fascinating looking animal

Actually such an underrated KZfaq channel. Subscribed!!

That thing is huge! We get many blue bottles in Cape Town. I've probably seen thousands of them in my lifetime. Never seen one bigger than my thumb.

Hey my Alma Mater. Very informative video on has to stay safe at the beach while having fun

I am shocked that this is such a small channel. Great video! Very informative and cool.

i've been stung by these a lot, some are more painful then others, a lot of the time for the next few days after the sting, your armpit/groin will hurt after the sting (due to lymph node swelling). Also if you keep surfing after getting stung, it usually keeps stinging you while you're in the water, so that the pain the next few days after that are a lot worse. You can pick them up/step on the tentacles without getting stung because the skin is too thick on palm/soles. Also, they will still sting you even if they are dead washed up on the sand. They're usually everywhere during onshore winds.

We’d recently arrived when Typhoon Tilda (‘61) slammed into Okinawa. Diehard beachcombers like my parents came out to see what the storm had brought onto the beaches: Strewn along the shore were Portuguese man of war, blobs of kelp and jellyfish, glass fishing floats, and so many purple sea snails (Janthina) the beach was lavender.
