Rare Blue Dragons : The Mystical Intruders Enchantingly Disrupt Spring Breakers' Beach Sojourns
Blue dragons are certainly stunning to look at, but, according to the experts, that's all people should do: look, don't touch – and perhaps photograph from a safe distance away.
The beautiful 'blue dragons' sweeping beaches look like magical Pokemon – but experts warn travellers to stay away.
Travellers, be warned: Pokemon-like toxic blue dragons are washing up on Texas beaches.
They are a stunning (and stinging) species that has recently been washing up on Texas beaches, thwarting the plans of many a spring breaker.
The "blue dragons" arrived there not exactly by accident, but because blue sea slugs tend to go with the flow – literally.
"They are very weak swimmers and go with where the wind and currents take them," he explains.
Wherever these blue creatures go, they float there upside down. But while sea slugs might be drifters, they aren't all that welcoming, which is why the sightings have prompted some Texas organisations – such as the Harte Research Institute, dedicated to the conservation of the Gulf of Mexico – to issue words of caution to spring breakers and other curious beach-goers.
He noted that spring winds are to thank for the appearance of certain species, such as man-o-wars, blue buttons (jellyfish-like creatures) and these "rarely seen" blue dragons arriving to the shore.
"Glaucus atlanticus sea slug, or blue dragon, is a pelagic nudibranch that sails on the surface of the ocean," Tunnell continued. "They are typically just an inch long, and feed on the toxins of much larger species such as Portuguese man o’ wars, which have tentacles around 30 feet".
