In 2020, scientists at Chicago's Field Museum discovered that platypuses glow blue-green under ultraviolet light, a phenomenon called biofluorescence where their fur absorbs invisible UV rays and emits visible cyan and lime light; this makes the platypus the third mammal branch known to exhibit this trait, joining flying squirrels and opossums, with scientists theorizing the glow may help platypuses see each other in murky water or hide from UV-sensitive predators.
