Animal of the day: Sea Swallow

Also known as the blue angel, blue glaucus, blue dragon, blue sea slug, and blue ocean slug, this guy is pretty much a sea slug. Sea swallows can sting and eat on other stinging sea creatures such as the man of war and sometimes they decide to be cannibalistic. They can be found in the waters of Africa, Europe, Australia, and Mozambique. Sea Swallows float around upside down because their floaty gas sacs are located in their tummies. Sea swallows are hermaphrodites.
