Here is a short video that I found interesting and i thought it would be a good follow up to my previous blog.I think it is fascinating that animals deep down in the oceans are able to produce light and use it to their advantage, either to lure in prey or escape predators. There are a few species on land, like fire flies, that produce light, but the majority of species that are able to produce light are animals deep down in the oceans.The sad thing is, is that there are many species that on land, we do not have animals that are bright pink or purple, but in the oceans we have species ranging from every color in the rainbow. There are bright pink or purple animals and corals down in the oceans, but humans are destroying the oceans faster then they can learn and discover these beautiful creatures.I hope they realize what they are doing before it is too late!
