Haha the storm thing made me laugh 😂 such good vibes when you’re with us Kaity !! My luck ran out with the blue dragons after this video I got stung and had to go hospital 😭
Hahaha, they will only sting if they're threatened which is why Julian gets away with it, but that's because he handles them all of the time. I didn't risk it though
Wow, Aussie beaches are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! I'm a California native, & I love our beaches here...but WOW! Great episode Kaity, please continue these vlog-style videos - they're awesome!!!
@Kaityscichlids Haha, the ONE Australian person that I've ever met, said the same thing to me as you did, but here in Northern California, the Pacific Ocean water is.... well, cold hahaha, so they were a bit disappointed about that hahahaha
@@Kaityscichlids Kaity!! What if you did a collaboration with Justin & Saxon from Black Opals Direct?! OK, so filling a tank with Lightning Ridge opals would be a bit pricey (understatement!) but maybe he would have ideas on a different "exotic" mineral?... or maybe a Nano tank with some opal scraps (I think they're called tailings?) I'm going to go pick their brains : )
@@GenXHeart now that would be AWESOME! I absolutely love Opals, but yes that would be very pricey. I love the idea of using exotic minerals/crystals in an aquarium though
WoW! that drone really seems to pay off.such incredible footage !! Impressie! What you said about you having a drone before, had me laughing the whole week every time i saw a magpie! 😂😂😂 That's a Story i would love to hear.lol. Great collab with these guys,it looks like you had Fun.
What a wonderful and beautiful beach, thank you kaity . for making a video for us about this beautiful, small, very poisonous and very rare creature because it is well camouflaged in the sea, most people are unaware of the existence of such beautiful creatures and at the same time they are small. They are very, very poisonous, like the small blue ring octopus. Glaucus atlanticus (sea dragon) is one of the species of sea snail, which has been given many nicknames. Blue Angel, Blue Glaucus, Blue Dragon, Blue Sea Snail, Blue Ocean Snail and The strangest of them, who ignored the blue color, is the sea swallow. The sea snail can float on the surface of the water by using its body color. so that the blue part of the body is placed upwards so that it can camouflage well in the sea.While the silver side of his body is down andThe fish that are in the deep ocean cannot distinguish the light of the sea surface from his bodyAnd hunters, whether above or below, can hardly find him, and he owes this power of hiding to the color that is imprinted on his body. If this beautiful coloring cannot hide him, and he is in be moving It can be seen in front of the eyes of the hunters and he has to take another defensive way. He emits a bad smell. This snail itself is not poisonous.But based on the food it eats, it stores different smells that may produce poison.The cells of his body have kept this smell in a concentrated state but while dealing with this creature or touching him, the cells released these odorous substances. And in severe cases, it even kills the hunter. All blue dragons are bisexual. In the sense that they have both female and male bodies. When two blue dragons meet and decide to form a life together, they both have the ability to lay eggs.The eggs of these organisms cannot remain in one place and grow due to lack of adhesive properties. So they always float in water. Some are eaten and others grow and become baby blue dragons. These very beautiful but very dangerous creatures are found throughout the ocean, both in temperate and tropical waters. The beauty of these creatures can be admired from a distance.
Been fishing the beaches of the Gold Coast since I moved here in 1977…these little creatures wash up after storms and I’ve been picking them up without being stung…just a tingle. I have a theory they fire off their stinging mechanism on the beach. Of course everybody is different and some may be more susceptible to the venom like bluebottle jellyfish and bee stings which don’t affect me much either.
I am a marine biologist. You may want to look at the sail of the Man O Wars. I think the sail may be oriented for the ocean it is found in. Left and right handed. I am on the Gulf of Mexico and need to check this. The colonial hydroid dips this sail in the water so it would not dry out. I am kitesurfer so these animals must tack to sail.
Ohhhh that is so cool! I didn't know that, but that makes a lot of sense. It's so fascinating to think some creatures spend their entire existence floating out on the ocean
Omg this guy is insane. I went to wikipedia to learn more about the sea dragons. The article mentions that Julian from this video went to the hospital for getting stung by these in 2023, and here he is touching them again.
Great video Kaity! I'm surprised they are so often reported as deadly. I'm in the ocean most days and I'm often stung by both blue bottles and sea dragons. However for me I find blue bottles a whole lot more painful than sea dragons. I've usually forgotten about a sea dragon sting after about 10 minutes. Maybe their stings are so minor because my body is so familiar with that type of venom?
That's very interesting! I wonder if you do have some type of immunity to them or maybe they're letting you off easy lol. I believe they are only deadly if you have an allergic reaction/underlying condition, but I think they are generally reported to be more painful than a blue bottle sting
I am liking your new shirts. They're kind of different from other shirts, but cute. 😏 Some blue dragons just started washing up in Texas. They said they were looking for you, but I think they have a really bad sense of direction. Can we expect you to be catching some Irukandji box jellyfish in your next video? 😄 I like these excursion videos. I'm enjoying seeing the wildlife down there.
Haha the storm thing made me laugh 😂 such good vibes when you’re with us Kaity !! My luck ran out with the blue dragons after this video I got stung and had to go hospital 😭
Thank you Julian! You're the best!! And omg no freakin way 😭😭 I can't believe one ended up getting you
Touching them while constantly saying don’t touch these! They are venomous is wild🤣💀
Hahaha, they will only sting if they're threatened which is why Julian gets away with it, but that's because he handles them all of the time. I didn't risk it though
😂 you’re right
So cool! Love the adventure videos and stoked for the new merch! :) This new drone footage is amazing! Great video, Kaity! Loving your content!
Thank you so much Travis!! I really appreciate it :) Not long now and it'll be ready :D
you guys are crazy , playing with those.
Hi Kaity love your videos keep them coming.
Your drone footage is just fantastic!! Stunning views and great adventure.
Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼
Just getting back into fish keeping and you have a great channel, just fun times and enjoying wild life is what makes this hobby so enjoyable. 👍
That's so awesome to hear :D Thank you heaps!
Hi Kaity love your videos keep them coming. cheers
Queensland it’s just so beautiful…and the blue dragons are cool too..nice vid Kaity..👍🏽
Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼

I remember long time ago pooping those little blue balloons in the shore here PH, didn't expect to see it here, just here on that little blue creature
Another fun video! Those are pretty! Thank you Kaity & friends!

Epic move! Great scape 😮
The sea fig one was interesting - I have heaps in the garden!

I like your vlogs very informative
Thank you 😊🙏🏼
What a beautiful and sunny day for you. It's still cold here and it's the last days of winter. We'll enter spring in just four days.
Yes, not long for you guys now!!

It actually made it all the way to the news in Sweden that the blue dragons had been washing up onto the shore lately. Incredible animal!
That's crazy!! It seems like they are washing up everywhere in large numbers at the moment :O I wonder why

Handling venomous creatures like its just another animal is perhaps the most Australian thing ever
Hahaha, very true!
Can't say I've ever seen one before. Very cool. I wonder how big they can get?
I had only ever seen them on the internet before and never thought I'd get to see one! Julian said these ones were quite large
The larger ones in the video are full grown size
awesome creatures! you guys have no fear haha!
They are so cool! And Julian and Colty have no fear, I don't know about me though lol
😊😊very nice video amazing vlogs cool 😎 and scary stuff saying that they are venomous if you touch them could be dangerous thnxs for sharing
Thank you heaps :) I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@@Kaityscichlids your welcome anytime my friend thnx

🎉🎉🎉
Last time I went on the Stradbroke Island ferry was in 1976, it's changed a bit 🤣
Whoaaaa!! That's so cool! It sounds silly but being such a small island town I didn't even realise it existed all the way back then lol
@@Kaityscichlids It was a year 12 geography trip
They look cool as
They're so cool!!
What's a nudy branch it's part of the tree with no clothes on
They were recently seen along the Florida and Texas coasts.
I saw that! Julian got to be on the new in America talking about them lol
one of the blokes seemed to be constantly on the phone...oh well maybe he was getting sauve for his cornea...
Hahaha, poor Colty had a 17 hour trip ahead of him the next day back to Canada so he was trying to get it all sorted out
awesome looking blue sea dragons.
They are very cool :)
They aren’t rare lol
They're not rare, but they're rarely seen!
Thks for keeping your clothes on and not stripping down for clicks.

Woohooo :D

Great video! You have too many venomous animals down there !
Glaucus atlanticus
Great adventure kaity
Thank you Cooper :D
MINI FOOTAGE
REALLY GOOD 🎉
Dragons 🐉 quite
Interesting
5 gallon salt water tank?
Apparently they can't be kept alive in aquariums easily 😩 That would be so cool though!
Wow, ive never heard of them, Amazing creatures and a beautiful island.
I had only ever seen them online prior to this and never thought I'd get the opportunity to see them in person. Definitely very cool creatures 😊
Great video. What a beautiful place
Thank you 😊 it certainly is a beautiful island!
Nice, yeah...Glaucus are showing up all along the coast of Texas right now. Sounds like Florida is experiencing the same. Nudis are the coolest.
I love them!! Such cool and interesting little creatures
Always love your adventure videos!

You found real life Pokémon! So sad to see them get washed up. Another great adventure video~
Hahaha, that is exactly what they remind me of!! They are such interesting little creatures, luckily we were able to save a few :) Thank you heaps!
Nice
Thank you :D
The beach is so beautiful ❤ the video.
It is so lovely! Thank you 😊🙏🏼
from what i understand they are sensitive to high water temperatures. or they were just chasing the man o war?
I think it's mostly dependent on wherever the current/tide takes them because they're not very strong swimmers. Similar to the blue bottles
oh yeah that is true, they mostly float around\ until they hit their prey. @@Kaityscichlids
