WEEK 29 Living Lights Deep in the ocean, a fierce sea creature uses an eerie light on its head to get the attention of its prey, while a shrimp squirts glowing liquid into its enemy's face. What's going on? It's bioluminescence! 8 Bioluminescence is light that comes from living things. Some insects, such as fireflies, have it, as do certain fish, especially those that live in the deepest parts of the ocean. Many soft-bodied animals, such as jellyfish, light up. There are even some fungi, or mushrooms, that glow in the dark! But why do some living things have this adaptation? For some creatures, it helps them survive or reproduce. For example, fireflies use their lights to find mates. The flashing lights are a kind of code. Each type of firefly flashes at a different rate. That's how they recognize each other! Bioluminescence can help other animals hunt for food. Very little sunlight reaches the deepest parts of the ocean. But there are lights in the darkness! Some come from fish called anglerfish. The anglerfish has a long spine on the top of its head. The spine looks a bit like a fishing rod. The tip lights up. When other fish swim toward the light, the anglerfish opens its huge jaws and sucks them in! Lights can also help animals hide or escape from their enemies. For example, a shrimp that lives deep in the ocean has a clever trick. When it is attacked, the shrimp squirts a cloud of glowing ink. The light confuses its enemy, and the shrimp escapes to safety! MONDAY fierce eerie prey adaptation spine clever The flashlight fish has glowing organs just below its eyes. Match each word from the passage to its definition on the right. • a long, pointy growth on an animal's body original or creative • a trait in a plant or animal that helps it survive in its environment ● something that is hunted strange or spooky • wild and dangerous
