You might have fantasised about dragons and their magnificence while reading comic books or watching epic fiction Hollywood movies. Now a real dragon has washed ashore in Queensland, Australia.

It’s called Blue Dragon or Sea Angel.

Yes! It’s Alive

This rare sea creature, the Blue Dragon, has been spotted on an Australian beach. It belongs to a rarely seen sea species Glaucus Atlanticus. It occasionally visits the shores, following its prey.

It was seen and recorded on camera by Lucinda Fry in Broadbeach, Queensland.

Though, it’s small in size but capable in giving a painful sting. (Photo Courtesy: Wikimedia Commons)

Be Careful, It’s Dangerous

Though this rare creature is only 3 cm long, it can be really dangerous. It is capable of feeding on venomous sea creatures like the Portuguese man o’ war that stretches to 50 meters. It even stores venomous nematocyst cells to sting its predators.

So, stay away from his magnificent creature or be ready for a painful sting.
