    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
