INCREDIBLE WILDLIFE PHOTOS 5!

      Above is a Blue dragon, a type of mollusk known as a nudibranch. It can be found drifting on the surface of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans in temperate and tropical waters. An air bubble stored in its stomach keeps the blue dragon afloat. Despite its impressive appearance, it rarely grows larger than three centimeters long.
      Nature is filled with such beautiful wildlife; some are majestic, some colorful, some bizarre, some cute, but all wonderful in their own way. Along with the more commonly known, we can find more exotic species, with unique colors, pelts, shapes and sizes. These exotic creatures are a sight to behold, as you'll see in these perfect examples of wildlife photography done just right.
