Also:

There are two species of Man o' War and they are very similar to each other, both have the same deeply bizarre structure of being composed of four "Zooids" which are basically animals that live in a bound life cycle with other animals. Way beyond commensalism or symbiosis, these organisms go through their entire life cycles together and are never apart from one another. They are, in essence an animal made of animals.

Oh, and they aren't Portuguese...the ship they were named after was! Join us at youtube.com/bizarrebeasts!

Hank, every few months: hmm, I don’t have enough YouTube channels I’m a part of...

[TheWillrus]

Rather fitting that it's named after a ship, every ship needs a crew

[SenoritaSevilla]

It's like the oceanic version of 4 raccoons in a trenchcoat. Nature is weird!

*Some people:* "I make YouTube videos!"
*Hank Green:* "I make YouTube channels."

"Four animals" I see Hank was really trying to give the you guys in the pin club a real bang for your buck this last month.

[erin_the_extra]

Green brother: *has a new interest*
Green brother: (to the tune of Secret Tunnel) BRAND NEW CHANNELLLL, BRAND NEW

Hank: “A Portuguese man o’ war is not an animal.”
Me: It’s a plant?
Hank: “It is four animals.”
Me: 🤯

I feel like there must be a recurring betting pool at his office on how long before Hank comes up with a new YouTube channel.

“This is not how it’s supposed to work” “But” this sounds like a sentence I say daily at my job

[brennaraeder]

The Hank Green Man o' War: It looks like one project but it's actually four projects with an unknown amount of overlap

[curiosamente]

"Tentacular palpoons!" is going to be my new favorite interjection.

[tomwatts]

This sounds like the most pokemon-like animal ever, four organisms in one!

[isa_tet]

I feel like John and Hank just have a shared Google doc with the lyrics of All Star where they just highlight them off once they're taken. Otherwise I don't know how they keep track! But I love it regardless!!

[sarahdm]

“tentacular palpon” sounds like a Shakespearean insult and I intend to use it as such.

[krank]

Me, a Transformers fan: "Ah. Biological combiner. Makes sense."

[gabby]

Hank: "They are common"
Me: "I've never seen this thing in my life"

[runemist]

Hank: I am so busy, let’s just do a little project for a limited time
Also Hank: I made a new channel!

[oliviabrown]

You could say this animal,
Breaks the Mold

[sushicartman]

Hank: *produces/hosts/creates multiple youtube channels and companies*
Also Hank: I have time to make another one
