 Although the Portuguese man-of-war resembles a jellyfish, it is not one. It isn't even a single animal, really. It is a siphonophore, an animal made up of a group of coexisting creatures. The man-of-war is really made up of four different polyps. The top polyp is a gas-filled bladder that resembles the sails of the formerly popular man-of-war ship.[([[https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/portuguese-man-o-war.html|oceanservice]])]
+===== Reproduction =====
+Jellyfish can reproduce sexily or asexually. Although there have been hermaphroditic species discovered, they are typically either male or female.[([[https://www.aquariumofpacific.org/exhibits/jellies/reproduction_jellies|aquariumofpacific]])]
+===== Lifespan =====
+Jellyfish can survive for many hours or several months. One species is said to have a long lifespan. In aquariums, jellyfish often survive longer than they do in the wild. Due to their fragility, jellyfish are more easily caught while they are in the polyp stage, when they are the least susceptible.[([[https://www.aquarium.co.za/blog/entry/jellyfish-life-cycle|aquarium]])]
+===== Food =====
+Plankton, crustaceans, other jellyfish, fish eggs, and tiny fish are some of the foods they eat. Through the same hole in the center of the bell, they feed and urinate.[([[https://www.whoi.edu/know-your-ocean/ocean-topics/ocean-life/jellyfish-other-zooplankton/|whoi]])]
