The puffin is the latest addition to more than 180 known species—many of them sharks, corals, and other marine animals—that emit a luminous glow.
The fact that so many marine animals biofluoresce "tells us organisms are using light in ways we don't even see," John Sparks, curator of fishes at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

A bioluminescent tide hit Los Angeles a couple of years ago, and I swam in the ocean around midnight, with the waves illuminated neon blue, as well as the water around my body, and even the wet sand like little explosions as I walked. I imagined being eaten by a neon shark. My hope is to swim in bioluminescence beneath the aurora borealis someday.

theyre weird and beautiful and smart and change colour. I loved them anyway and then I read Other Minds: The Octopus and the Evolution of Intelligent Life and I loved them even more, as well as other intelligent cephalopods like colour changing cuttle fish. Learning about how they change colour, essentially evolving two different types of biological pixels in their skin, is unbelievable. It doesn’t sound real, its like real life magic.
