The Blue Dragon that Lives in the Ocean

Off the coast of Australia, you may find unusual marine life. The blue dragon, aptly named because of its vibrant blue color and dramatic fins, is a sea slug that’s rather elusive due to its minuscule stature.

The creature may be tiny, but its sting packs quite the punch, so you’re better off looking but not touching. Shockingly, the primary prey for these tiny critters is the Portuguese man o’ war — whose tentacles can reach up to 30 feet long.

Check out this extraordinary creature of the deep.
