A tentacled summer visitor has arrived on the shores of the western Gulf. It looks like a jellyfish, but it's not. Look at the beautiful blue creatures — but don't touch, say state officials.

Keep an eye out for the slow-moving, shelled creatures on city roads. In the summer months, they often migrate across the terrain to seek out new territory, find food or settle into the perfect nesting place.

Every year, Texas Parks & Wildlife stocks thousands of rainbow trout in bodies of water across the state. Texans can go fishing for them through the winter.

The agency warns that interfering with local critters may do more harm than good.

Experts believe a disease is spreading through bird feeders and bird baths.
