On today’s trip we had the sighting of the three smaller species of dolphins, we even saw two Loggerhead sea-turtles since the weather was ideal. When we were about to start our way back we saw some Portuguese Man O’War (Physalia physalis), a little fish that was looking for protection got too close to one of the Man O’wars ending up tangled in its tentacles, soon after it stopped moving. The venom had reached the nervous system and paralyzed the little fish. RIP.
