The Blue Sea Slug

There are some fascinating things about the blue sea slug. One thing is that the blue sea slug eats the Portuguese Man O’ war and takes its stinging cells from it and later deploys them to kill its prey and sometimes predators. Secondly, what helps it not get eaten is it can counter shade. On its belly there is a tan color to blend in with the sky, which makes predators from below not see them as well. And on its back is a blue color which blends in with the ocean depths so predators from above can’t see them as well. I think the blue sea slug is the most amazing creature in the world.

Blue sea slugs are interesting carnivores. Their predators are fish and birds which find them difficult to see because they are blue in the blue ocean. Its scientific name is Glaucus atlanticus. They weigh up to 3.3 lbs. They are found in reefs and deep oceans of the Pacific, Atlantic and the Indian Ocean. By Tim and Ed
