Mysterious Creature Washes Up on Texas Shore

Good Timing

“We then went on to find four more throughout the afternoon. One washed up right next to my foot at some point, luckily I saw him and didn’t step on it,” Leah said. They were lucky that the events went down as they did... If she had accidentally stepped on that little guy, or one of her kids touched it, they might have met their maker...

They Can Be Deadly

After some more searching, Leah found out that they can be deadly. They're technically a sea slug, but many people compare them to deadly jellyfish. Their venom is enough to paralyze a person, and even kill them. Naturally, the parents were alarmed. If a young child touches one, it could be a death sentence. So, they decided to call up the park ranger to let them know about their findings.
