Animal Of The Day-Portuguese Man-Of-War
Hello again, I will be listing pictures of animals and their description every day. Today I'm showing you a picture of a jellyfish called the Portuguese Man-Of-War. It is a beautiful animal, yet it is extremely dangerous. It's stings are very painful. The Man-o'-War eats small fish that swim near its stingers. The fish is almost instantly paralyzed and that's when the jellyfish uses it's stingers to bring the fish to it's mouth. The stingers, even when broken off the jellyfish, can submit a powerful sting that can kill small children and the elderly. It is also sometimes called the blue bottle because, well it looks like a floating blue bottle. It's body is about 3 to 12 inches long (9-30cm.) The Portuguese Man-of-War floats by the sack that actually emits its own gas. These jellyfish are found in warm waters in the Atlantic ocean. Well that concludes my first ever Animal Of The, Day so come back soon.

France has been one of the world's foremost powers since the latter half of the 17th century. In the 18th and 19th centuries, France built one of the largest colonial empires of the time, stretching across West Africa and Southeast Asia, prominently influencing the cultures and politics of the regions. France is bordered by Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Monaco, Andorra, and Spain. Due to its overseas departments, France also shares land borders with Brazil and Suriname (bordering French Guiana) , and the Netherlands Antilles (bordering Saint-Martin). France is also linked to the United Kingdom by the Channel Tunnel, which passes underneath the English Channel. The name “France” comes from Latin Francia, which literally means “land of the Franks” or “Frankland”. There are various theories as to the origin of the name of the Franks. One is that it is derived from the Proto-Germanic word frankon which translates as javelin or lance as the throwing axe of the Franks was known as a francisca.
