Angry about what’s happening in MN? Now would be a great time to use 5 Calls to call your legislators. Enter your zip code and it gives you a script and the name and number of who to call. I just called my Rep and Senators and it only took a few minutes. 5calls.org
5 Calls
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

This isn't one animal. It's actually a colony of individual animals called zooids. Each has a specialized role. From the orb-like swimming nectophores to the bright orange stinging tentacles, they're essential to the survival of all.
