Leslie Kenna: The brilliance of bioluminescence

2013 • E217    May 15, 2013    4m
Some lucky animals are naturally endowed with bioluminescence, or the ability to create light. The firefly, the anglerfish, and a few more surprising creatures use this ability in many ways, including survival, hunting, and mating. Leslie Kenna investigates this magical glow - and our quest to replicate it. [Directed by Cinematic Sweden, narrated by Michelle Snow].
