Diet
The Portuguese Man O’ War has a very interesting diet and way of obtaining the food that’s in it’s diet. It is a true fact that crayfish is in this fascinating sea creature’s diet. In fact, small fish and plankton are also in this sea creature’s diet. To catch its pray in the water, this perilous sea creature uses it’s tentacles. Close your eyes and imagine first, getting stung by this menacing monster and then it having the nerve to paralyze you; dead or not! I would never want to encounter a Man O’ War around dinner time!

Habitat
The Man O’ War has no backbone, therefore, it has no control over where it goes, so, it’s kind of like having no gravity which is pretty cool. This intriguing critter can be found washed ashore. Subtropical and tropical oceans is where this hazardous varmint can be found. Australia and Hawaii have the tropical oceans this jellyfish lives in. To give and even more specific example a Portuguese Man O’ War is found by the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
