Unique Animal

Blue Ocean Slug



Glaucus atlanticus (common names include the sea swallow, blue angel, blue glaucus, blue dragon, blue sea slug and blue ocean slug) is a species of small, blue sea slug, a pelagic aeolid nudibranch, a shell-less gastropod mollusk in the family Glaucidae. 

These sea slugs are pelagic: they float upside down by using the surface tension of the water to stay up, where they are carried along by the winds and ocean currents. Glaucus atlanticus makes use of Countershading : the blue side of their body faces upwards, blending in with the blue of the water. The silver/grey side of the sea slugs faces downwards, blending in with the sunlight reflecting on the ocean's surface when viewed upwards underwater.

When traveling on the beach, and find this beautiful creature, you must be careful.  Because this animal is called the blue dragon sea snail, the sting of this soft bodied animal is like a dragon sting.

 But take it easy, this animal is rarely found in Indonesia, although it is possible to be found under certain conditions.

 Animals with the scientific name Glaucus atlanticus, they live in temperate and tropical waters.

 Their habitat is most widely distributed on the east and south coasts of South Africa, European waters, the east coast of Australia and Mozambique.

 A: Excuse me, sir.  R: Yes?  A: Do you mind not to smoke here?  R: What’s your problem? There’s no sign that says it’s forbidden to smoke in this area. It means that I can smoke here.  A: That’s true, but this is a public area. Your cigarette is harmful for all people here.  R: People aren’t complaining except you.  A: I don’t want to make a scene here, so I suggest you to smoke somewhere else. Can’t you see? There’re many children here.  R: All right. I’ll leave and smoke somewhere else. A: Thank you. I appreciate that. Adam Valeno Ryan Rachmatal (XI MIPA 7)

My Ambition in Future

  My ambition is to enter the military academy after graduating from high school and I am also training my talents and physique, among them I follow athletics, basketball, football. I did all that to develop my physique so that I could compete later in the military academy. but I also did not forget academic education in schools, but because of this situation, learning was interrupted. but if my sustenance is not in a military academy, I want to learn about business economics, because I also have a passion in selling, I like to farm buyers and prepare merchandise, it's very fun and can socialize with lots of people and that can also make friends .. I hope and try hard to reach my goal, I don't forget to pray to God so that my path will be made easier .. maybe it's from me, thanks adam valeno
