A very strange glowing blue sea creature that eats jellyfish was found washed up on Australian beach.
The weird looking Blue Dragon is seldom seen in shallow waters but was found on the shore of a beach in Australia this week.
Called the Blue Dragon - or glaucus atlanticus, the bizarre-looking creature is in fact a sea slug, and feeds on blue bottle jellyfish - otherwise known as Portugese Man O' War.
While the jellyfish has a powerful sting that can severely injure humans, the Blue Dragon is unaffected by the venom. As a matter of fact, the Blue Dragon has a fairly nasty sting of its own.
Kylie Pitt, a marine life expert from Griffith University in Queensland, told the Gold Coast Bulletin: “They are really weird.
“The glaucus eat blue bottles – they float upside down and move around using the water’s surface tension.
“I have handled them before and wasn’t stung, but I would not recommend anyone pick them up because they can have a painful sting.”
