A small, real-life “dragon” made a rare appearance on the Australian beach, according to reports this week.

It’s not really a “dragon,” but it’s actually a sea slug, Glaucus atlanticus, known as the “blue dragon.” This rare creature is also venomous and has a painful sting. If you see the slug, don’t try to handle it.
