Hi! I have decided that once a week [on Wednesday] I will write a post on an unusual animal or plant. Here is this weeks Wednesday Wildlife post...
Glaucus Atlanticus
Glaucus Atlanticus is a type of ocean slug. This animal lives in tropical waters. The Glaucus Atlanticus has a very interesting appetite. This animal eats hydrozoans. Hydrozoans are a creature that are very closely related to jellyfish. The type of hydrozoan this ocean slugs likes to eats is a Portuguese Man-O'-War. This hydrozoans sting can a hurt a lot is not fond of by us humans. The Glaucus Atlanticus eats this animal and stores its poison so it can use it as a defense against predators.
Stay posted,
