A glowing hawksbill sea turtle has been spotted near the Solomon Islands in the Pacific Ocean, and it's believed to the be the first reptile ever known to exhibit biofluorescence. <br />The hawksbill sea turtle dwells in the tropical waters of the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It is probably the most critically endangered turtle species in the world. <br />Discovered by biologist and National Geographic explorer David Gruber from City University of New York, the incredibly rare turtle was caught on camera glowing neon red and green under a blue light. <br />You can see the exclusive National Geographic footage from below link. <br /> <br />what is bio-fluorescence then? <br />Water absorbs most of the visible light spectrum as it goes deep. So these biofluorescent animals take the remaining blue <br />light and use it to make themselves glow. <br /> <br />National Geographic Documentary link -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kmE7... <br /> <br />And you can read about some other animals and their incredible facts from this - http://listverse.com/2016/02/12/10-re...
