Springhares emit a bright pink hue under UV light (Credit: Olson et al. 2021, Scientific Reports)

Biofluorescence refers to an organism's ability to absorb ultraviolet light (UV) and emit it as a colorful glow. The skill has been documented in fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and even microscopic tardigrades. However, glow-in-the-dark mammals are still new to science. They currently include just a handful of nocturnal animals such as flying squirrels, opossums, and platypuses. The latest to hop on to this elite list is a jumping rodent called the springhare.

            This is the first animal that is from the Pedetidae (rodent )family that has the ability to collect Uv light and emit it as beautiful colors.
