Who glows in the dark (Creatures Glowing in the Dark)

#ForKids #ForParents #PopularScience

I read this book with my son today about animals with bioluminescence that allow them to glow:) Interestingly, Kirill, who is only three years old, was already familiar with Noktylyuka from other books. (night-light), anglers, glowing octopuses and squids, as well as other sea creatures - this led to the fact that he listened to other animals with great interest. And thanks to the fact that the book is written very simply and accompanied by excellent illustrations, we were able to finish it in one sitting:)

Below are a few quotes from the book that show that it is suitable for the youngest.

squid A small firefly squid has tiny photophores covering its entire body. Through bioluminescence, the squid communicates its presence and tries to appear larger than it actually is.

Light as words Sea candles don't look like people, but if anything, they start talking. The glow is their way of shouting "Alarm!", "Help!" or "Get out!" when something threatens them.

Pink glow Scientists do not know exactly why flying squirrels glow. It may well be that the pink glow helps them see each other in the twilight – just as reflective elements help to spot you on the road when you are riding a bike or walking in the evening.
