Cloning Colony

Cloning Colony They can be up to 30 feet long, they are highly poisonous, and they are experts at teamwork: The siphonophore called the Portuguese man-of-war is not actually a single organism-- it is more like an entire colony.  Hundreds and even thousands of individual organisms called zooids come together  to form what is known as a colonial organism. Individual zooids take on different roles, serving as various organs. Gastrozooids are responsible for acquiring food, gonozooids for reproduction, the gas-filled pneumatophores for floating... The remarkable thing about these animals is that each colony can clone itself -- all of the colony's various kinds of zooids emerge from a single fertilized egg. When a siphonophore hatches, the polyp forms all the other zooids of the colony through budding. ** The budding process, of this sea creature, has been vested in testing throughout the Occult world for the past decade. A recent discovery has brought forth knowledge of being able
