What animal make light?
Some animals (plankton, fish, worms, shrimp, other invertebrates) have a type of bacteria inside their bodies that causes light. This is called Bioluminescense. They can get this bacteria through the food they eat, some pass it down to their offspring and scientists have even placed these bacteria in some higher animals and even plants. Some scientists think that this Bioluminescense is used by animals that live so deep in the water that everything is dark. Smaller animals use their artificial light attract a mate, others use it to catch prey, by hypnotizing them. On PBS, there was a program that showed shrimp using Bioluminescense to attract a predator so that it would shine and be eaten by a bigger predator.
