But there is something unique in a kind of snail called Hinea Brasiliana. do not like snails in general who will direct snail hiding in its shell but the light was out of his shell.
The uniqueness of this species is investigated by two scientists from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, Dimitri Deheyn and Nerida Wilson. Through their research, the researchers found that the way Hinea Brasiliana emit green light in a unique way when dealing with predators such as crabs and shrimp are swimming.
The researchers say, usually light produced by the snail by emitting a focused way. However, Hinea Brasiliana emit light with a spread in a unique way through the cell shell. This makes him look bigger. The findings were published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Wilson says, "It is extremely rare snail seabed issue cahaya.lebih surprise when he learned of this snail can use the shell to optimize the light they produce."
He also found that the yellowish color of the shell that does not turn off the color of light produced by the snail, which is green. In fact, the shell plays a role in the spread of green color.
Deheyn says, adaptation in the use of snail shell is very interesting to study optics and biotechnology. Understanding the characteristics of the shell could help scientists to develop a special material that has the same function.

In the next two weeks, this zedonk will be provided with facilities like other animals, said Wathen.
Results of this interbreeding antarhewan already happened several times before. There is a marriage between a lion (lion) by tiger (tiger), so the result is called Liger. Then there was a marriage between horse and zebra called zebroid.
This is the result of Crosses Between Zebra with Horses

Known as the world's smallest whale. No longer than the size of an adult human.
11. Cnemidophorus Uniparens
These lizards may look ordinary from the outside, but when examined more deeply, revealed a surprising fact: in some species, such as the New Mexico whiptail, all are female. They go through parthenogenesis, which is the embryos without male fertilization to produce offspring. Nevertheless, these lizards still need "marriage" to increase fertility.
12. Andean Cock-of-the-rock
Females of this species is actually quite normal, but males have a large head that looks odd, red / orange and stand out. Its fur is red / orange in the front, black on the bottom and a little gray. They are the national bird of Peru.
