Critter of the Week Bluebottle Jellyfish/ Portuguese man of war

From Afternoons, 3:35 pm on 24 December 2021

It’s the time of the year when people head to the beaches, to the bush and to their favourite campsites, and with borders closed – people will be noticing a lot more nature around them. DOC threatened species ambassador Nic Toki wants people to be able to enjoy and appreciate the nature – but maybe not love it too much. This week's critter is one that people might also want to steer clear of, it's the Bluebottle Jellyfish/Portuguese man of war. It does sting.
