Hydra viridissima is commonly called green hydra due to its coloration, which is due to the symbiotic green algae Chlorella vulgaris which live within its body. [3] These creatures are typically 10 mm long and have tentacles that are about half of their length. [ 4 ]
Like other hydras, Hydra vulgaris cling to a base object with a "foot" pad, shaped like a disk. The Hydra moves by releasing its grip on its base and is carried away by the current. H. vulgaris can also move by bending over, grabbing a surface with its tentacles, releasing its grip with its "foot" and flipping over itself.
The relative length of the tentacles compared to the body is characteristic of the species and serves to differentiate it from any other brown Hydra of cool temperate waters. When a cold sensitive strain of H. oligactis is subjected to temperature stress, it undergoes a shift from asexual budding to sexual reproduction. [2]

The thickest tentacle dildo on the list, Chithulu features 8.5 inches of insertable length and 4 to 6.5 inches in girth, depending on where along the toy you’re measuring.
When the siphonophore encounters potential prey, their tentillum react to where the 30–50 cm (12–20 in) tentacles create a net by transforming their shape around the prey. [ 5 ] [ 20 ] [ 21 ] The nematocysts then shoot millions [ 19 ] of paralyzing, and sometimes fatal, toxin molecules at the trapped prey which is then transferred to the ...
The Greyhound and Chihuahua might not have been besties. Nope. There are plenty of dogs who are forced to spend time together and don't really get along. But not these two. These two are sisters.
