It hibernates in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans around Africa and South America
---
Its range is throughout the southern Pacific Ocean as far north as Hawaii, and the southern Atlantic Ocean as far north as Virginia in the United States to the northern shores of Spain. On rare occasions, they have washed up as far north as the British Isles.
But, no, they do not hibernate. Their life cycle is about a year, but the water temperature seldom varies much within their habitat, so there is no need to conserve energy. They just sail along with the breeze and ride the currents, fishing for prey (almost exclusively fish) their entire lives, until they reproduce and die, or get blown ashore.

Man o' war, also known as the Portuguese man o' war, are carnivorous organisms.
