Hi friends of steemit =) Today I present to you this small and rare little animal called "Blue Dragon" or known by its scientific name "Glaucus Atlanticus"
It is a species of mollusc that lives in all oceans of temperate and tropical waters
Most spend their adult lives at the bottom of the sea and are tiny animals that reach 3cm in length, have air pockets that allow them to float in the water and be carried away by the ocean currents ..
It is poisonous and its toxins are obtained from animals that it feeds, such as jellyfish, snails and one of its favorite prey is the Portuguese caravel
(also called Portuguese frigate or bad water)
With a really painful bite for any animal, but not for the blue dragon because it absorbs its toxins for its attack system, the poison concentrates on its appendages at the end of its extremities but only attacks when it is hungry and if can not find food can be cannibals that look for one of their own species and eat it ..
Like most marine slugs it is hermaphrodite, that is to say, it has both sexual organs as masculine and feminine and they reproduce in the spring and summer months .. They use as nest the wood that floats to the drift
these do not have predators because of their high toxicity.
