Amazing, the world still holds some surprises for us to find. I believe a short time ago there was a post here about a new type of snake that could change colors. Is there any new information out about that snake?
New glowing species of *HUMAN* discovered!
Well, that is to say, I read an article recently that says that at least some of us actually emit light from our hands and face - something like about 8 photons a day.
A quick web-search should tell you more.
Makes you wonder about things like faith healing which involve “the laying on of hands”, allusions to people casting fireballs from their palms in ancient literatures, and people who can see auras.
BugMO - you’re right; the natural world is an amazing place that never ceases to amaze. Truth is stranger than fiction!

hey loren ummm lol interesting new article about a new species of shark that glows green in the dark waters of the ocean. thanks bill
A new species as big as a shark discovered? Absolutely incredible! I wonder what other secrets the ocean still has to give up? No doubt there will be many more, but this is HUGE!
Actually, this shark isn’t that big. A quick Google search reveals that the largest range around 78 cm long. The new species of Epaulette Shark discovered not too long ago is also in about the same size range. Do large, unknown creatures still exist, awaiting discovery in the dark depths of the ocean? Most definitely, but these are small fries by comparison.
This brings to mind a number of reports-old and new-of pterodactyls displaying bioluminescence. Evidently this is necessary for marine animals in a light starved environment; its more of a mystery as to why a flying creature-even a noctural one-needs such a feature. Then again, the natural world is full of such mysteries. Hey, if nothing else a glowing pterodacdyl must look pretty awesome cruising the night sky!
Ok so the shark isn’t very big at all! That would put it at less than half as big as the Coelacanth. What I meant when I said HUGE was, that this is a discovery of great significance and magnitude.
Well, wouldn’t you be just a bit intimidated if you saw a large glowing animal fly above you?
Nup!
That would be awesome!
