Shrimp Defense: Glowing Blue Spit Cloud
Smooth nylon shrimp (Heterocarpus laevigatus) inhabiting the dark depths of the Pacific employ a brilliant method of defense. When threatened with attack, the creature spits a cloud of bioluminescent blue fluid from its mouth, temporarily blinding its predator and allowing escape.
This was just too amazing not to post. It’s like an anime martial arts move.
We need to start genetically engineering bioluminesence into people.
