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.

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.

Speaking truth to power requires allies like you.
