Explaining Nature on Instagram: "The woolly siphonophore (possibly from the genus Apolemia*) is one of the longest animals on Earth, with some individuals stretching over 45 meters (150 feet). Unlike a single creature, it’s actually a colony of many genetically identical units, called zooids, each specialized for different tasks like feeding, reproduction, or movement. These zooids work together so seamlessly that the siphonophore behaves like one large organism. • #reels #explore #nature #viral
