Nature is
so beautiful, and everyday rare creatures stun human beings with their unique
characteristics & shape. But it all depending on your perceptions, see this
strange little blue creature may enthuse either aww-worthy shrieks of
exhilaration or a bit of uncomfortable shock, perhaps a combination of both.
Therefore, you can meet the blue dragon, one of the strangest and most
magnificent little-known animals in the world. The accurate name of this
mythical-looking creature is “Glaucus atlanticus”, or blue sea slug, and though
it is much smaller than its imaginary brethren of lore just an inch or two in
lengths. Furthermore, it has a host of nasty tricks up its sleeve—er wing?
Moreover, they spend their lives upside down, attached to the surface of the
water and floating along at the mercy of the winds and ocean currents. This
majestic create color is blue; they blend in with the water in order to
camouflage themselves within their environment. And however petit, these baby
dragons are also hazardous: they predate on poisonous cnidarians, such as the
Portuguese man o’war. They store the stings cells composed from these
cnidarians within their own tissues, and use them as a defense on anything that
bothers them. Therefore, handling a slight blue dragon could result in a
painful, and perhaps dangerous, sting. Though not often spotted by humans, one
of these alien-like specimens was caught on film after washing ashore in
Queensland, Australia.
