Bioluminescence, or the ability to glow in the dark, is incredibly common in tiny deep-sea squids and jellyfish. But scientists exploring the deep waters of New Zealand found something completely unprecedented.

They discovered that the massive, apex-predator Kitefin Shark naturally produces its own light! The shark’s belly contains specialized light-emitting cells that cast a bright blue glow 🔵

Scientists believe it uses this glow to perfectly camouflage itself against the faint sunlight filtering down from the surface, making it completely invisible to prey looking up from below.
