So this isn't exactly related to what we are learning in class right now, but I had to post. Up to 10% of sharks are "luminous" - they emit light from organs called photophores. This creates an optical illusion making them invisible to predators and prey! It also turns on sharks of the opposite sex. Pretty crazy.
