Siphonophores: The Largest Superorganisms in the Ocean
Siphonophores are fascinating superorganisms in the ocean, resembling elaborate jelly worms that can exceed the length of a blue whale. Upon closer inspection, they are actually living colonies composed of thousands of individuals working harmoniously as one entity. This episode explores their evolution and the concept of individuality.
