Bioluminescent eye?! Holy shit! That’s freaking cool! I want bioluminescent eyes! I don’t even know what for aside from aesthetics, but man that’s neat! Mofo’s the coolest kid on the block with that feature lol
when you need to see in the darkest dark, let your eyes also be a flashlight?
edit:
videos linked above explained that it’s fluorescent. theory is that it’s a side-effect of having a fluorescent-filtering layer to the eye, which would help finding prey that use bioluminescence to blend in with the dim sunlight coming from above them
Yeah the linked article and videos were very informative, but I guess yeah as far as me wanting them I don’t know. I guess a flashlight’s as good a guess as any, aside from the cool factor lol
What neat little creatures. The Green eye also is bioluminescent. Have 3 short videos: https://www.mbari.org/animal/strawberry-squid/
