When the roots and vines reach the opposite bank they are allowed to take root. Some of the bridges are over 100 feet long and can support the weight of 50 people
Arctic Ocean Siphonophores
by Russ Hopcroft
The siphonopores are a subgroup within the hydromeduae that are distinguished by the presence of a colonial phase with specilalized individuals, and the lack of a benthic phase. The Portuguese-man-o-war is an example of a siphonophore. The siphonpores are further divided into 3 major groups, two of which occur in the Arctic: the Physonects which have larger colonies with gas floats, and the Calycophorans that often resemble arrow heads.
Within the colony, individuals specialize for different roles. Specialization is most extreme in the Physonects were some parts are specialized to act as floats, some to swim, some to catch food, some to eat and digest the food, some to reproduce, and some to act as armor. The Calycophorans typically have only 1 or 2 individuals per colony and an alternating body-form over their life cycle. Colonies generally frament completely once collected…
