Welcome back to Bizarre Beasts: Season Zero, where we are remastering episodes of Bizarre Beasts that were originally created for Vlogbrothers. This episode is the Portuguese Man O’ War, the animal (well, colonial organism) that sails the sea rather than just swim.

This month's pin is designed by Zoë Polando Ryder. You can learn more about her and her work here: zoepolandoart.com
