Hundreds of beautiful, bright blue sea creatures that look like tiny dragons have just washed up on the shores of Cumbria! These amazing animals are actually called blue glaucus [a type of floating sea slug] and they use bubble-filled bellies to sail upside down across the ocean. Just don't touch them if you ever spot one, because these little blue beauties pack a surprisingly powerful sting!
