Naturally, Australian Australian researchers decided to study their native animals under the same light, according to ABC. They discovered that platypus is not equipped with biology for a single rao.
Ichidana, bandicoots, bilibis, consumes and some bats have all been burned under the black light, ScienceAlert reports. Researchers tested about two dozen mammals, one-third of which proved to be biofluorescent.
Scientists have known for years that some insects and sea creatures glow in UV light, but they have never been seen in mammals before the discovery of the platypus.
The evolving purpose of glow-in-the-dark skin and fur is unknown. It would theoretically make it easier to see such animals at night, but the Swedish biologist Michael Bock Pointed Outside that unless gerbots are true party animals, they will not often encounter these lighting conditions in the wild.
