National Park Service warns of venomous Blue Sea Dragons on North Carolina Outer Banks beaches.
The National Park Service has issued a warning about the presence of venomous Blue Sea Dragons (Glaucus atlanticus) on Outer Banks beaches in North Carolina. These small, dragon-like sea slugs can grow up to an inch long and feed on dangerous organisms like the Portuguese man o' war, storing their venom for defense. Beachgoers are advised to observe them from a safe distance, as they remain venomous whether alive or dead.
