The ocean is a place that we humans don't know very well. That's why, with each new discovery or each new reappearance of a species, the reason deserves celebration, since we know less than 10% of the depths. This time, the protagonist of the survey was a four-centimeter dragon.
It's not the dragons seen in "Game of Thrones", in fact, it's a much smaller species than the ones we see on the small screen. O Glaucus atlanticus, or Blue Dragon, registered in 1705, in Spain, had been missing for over 300 years and reappeared in the country, on the beach of Alicante.

Dragon szul has not been seen for 300 years
Also known as the sea butterfly, the appearance of the species draws attention because it really has the shape of a dragon, just as we imagine or see in series. The highlight is the size: it does not exceed four centimeters.
Poisonous, they are capable of causing damage to the health of a human, causing allergies and, in the worst case, can be fatal. The venom of the species is composed of a mixture of proteins and peptides and can easily affect the cardiovascular system, nervous system and muscles.
The NGO Quercus, responsible for recording the reappearance, reported that the reappearance happened in 2021, when the species was seen during the European summer. Despite their illustrious presence in the salt waters of Spain, all were lifeless. The record gained repercussion recently, when magazines published the novelty.
Its presence was also noted in Brazil in the same year as its reappearance in Spain. A Brazilian was on Bertioga beach, on the coast of São Paulo, and photographed the moment he came across the Blue Dragon. The physical characteristics catch anyone's attention, even though it is a miniature animal.
The species really has timid records in recent years, but it is important to remind us how little we know about something that seems to be infinite: the ocean. Many of them do not make it to the beaches or usually appear lifeless, as this is not the natural habitat of Blue Dragons.
