Yet that doesnt mean youre safe. A man-of-wars tentacles are so longup to 165 feet (50 m)that a swimmer could brush against them and get stung without ever seeing the creature. A sting from the man-of-war is extremely painful, but fortunately it usually isnt strong enough to kill a human. In Portuguese Man-of-War: Floating Misery, kids will learn all about the natural habitat, physical characteristics, diet, and behavior of this dangerous sea creature. Spectacular, full-color photos and a narrative format will keep readers turning the pages for more. |
