Mysterious Creature Washes Up on Texas Shore

Life-Saving Decision

Turns out, the Blue Dragons that the family found were just the first few to wash up. Over the next few days, more and more were found on the shoreline and more families were finding them. Luckily, the warning put out by the park ranger helped warn them all of how dangerous these beautiful little slugs can be. 

Warning, Danger! 

On May 6, the beach Facebook page issued a stern warning about the rare slugs. "A blue dragon, a type of nudibranch or sea slug, was found in the park this weekend. Blue dragons are very small, generally only 3 cm, but don't let their size fool you, they have a defense worthy of the name dragon... if you see a dragon in the park, be amazed as they are a rare find, but also keep your distance!"
