Story summary
- Researchers from the University of Georgia found that six North American bat species glow green under ultraviolet light, a first documented case in the region.
- The study, published in Ecology and Evolution, examined 60 preserved bat specimens and observed consistent fluorescence across species, sexes, and ages.
- Scientists suggest the glow may stem from a shared genetic trait rather than environmental factors.
- Further research is needed to determine the implications.
