New Discovery! More Mammals Are Glowing in the Dark?

Platypus are already known to be strange creatures, but there’s a new characteristic to add to these odd-balls: they GLOW! The thing is, scientists are finding that they actually aren’t the weird ones when it comes to this. It turns out, glowing in the dark is a trait far more common in mammals than we’ve ever thought! Ready to test what you think is possible?

Something astounding happened in 2020—something that will forever change what you think is possible in this world. Researchers shone a black light on a platypus, and… it… glowed. Just like a blacklight poster. Now, you may be tempted to add this to the long list of the platypuses’ strange traits, but the thing is, this glowing may not be as weird as we think. In fact, we may be the weird ones for not doing it ourselves!
