Hatteras National Coast Cape Officials say the Blue Sea Dragon is moving through the currents, eating the Portuguese meals, a Portuguese war.
“Their diet consists of such poisonous creatures, so they can store that poison for their own defense,” Park Service writes. “They concentrate it, ingest the poison and deliver even more powerful stings! Talk about the fiery bite for such a small dragon.”
