Why Is (Almost) All Bioluminescence in the Ocean?

fishes

This is so amazing.

Why can't land animals like crocodiles or tigers or dinosaurs be bioluminescent? Colorful light is so cool bro

Anyone having research or intrested in bioluminescence towards the Genetic engineering to work on glowing plant/animals ?

Why do people make videos to ask questions never asked by anyone!😂

Good channel, but the narrator is shitty.
Needs an old black man or something.
Not some little girl.

It makes sense to me, obviously, the reason is bc beyond the twilight zone…there’s No light that reaches that far below. Using bioluminescence seems to me it’s used for many reasons

While this clip is fascinating in describing these light producing mechanisms, nowhere is ANY EXPLANATION offered for the proposed EVOLUTIONARY THEORIES spoken of as scientific facts. Evolution is a theory, and when pushed relentlessly becomes a religion. Thanks for this clips descriptions of these phenomena, I choose to believe in an amazing creator who carefully designed each of these creatures and their amazing unique phenomena.

cause its to dark

Somebody watched an episode of National Geographic…

you should never be able to answer the question that is the title of the video for a science channel after thinking about it for two seconds...

Quick answer. Because it's dark

I've seen fireflies in Texas twice when I visited and it was the coolest. I've never seen a living creature that glows in real life before that. I could only imagine how mesmerizing some of those ocean bioluminescent creatures are. I bet it'd be fun to see on mushrooms

Salt also effects the chemical reaxtions. Some are bioluminescent and some are biochemiluminescent. Salt helps to make these chemical glowing reactjons

Because there is more than ten times deep, dark ocean than land, and land has fewer opportunities for life to adapt bioluminescence . Because the sun.

NORD VPN IS BAD

This is one of many miracles of Allah.

what about scorpions? do some of them not have bioluminesence?

God's creation is beautiful

A glowing shark? That would be sick!

It’s so hilarious that you keep using the word “evolved” and evolution. The fact that you think something so complex could evolve randomly & completely by chance unguided processes makes you sound so ridiculous. You do know that the two things evolutionary believers believe are the guiding forces of evolution are mutation and natural selection. Neither mutation nor natural selection add any information, but rather they do the opposite by taking information away. Imagine how ridiculous it would be. If I told you that, I was going to take parts off of your car repeatedly day after day, and at the end, you would have a complete car with sophisticated systems! That’s a special kind of stupid! It’s interesting how you guys have absolutely no fossil record of any “half evolved“ animas. Certainly, if evolution were true, you would see half evolved animal skeletons everywhere. It’s just a convenient term that you keep throwing around because someone said it to you and you’re a parrot Robotically, repeating what you’ve heard. Try using your brain and actually think about the probability of complex organisms like these simply evolving by unguided random chance. That’s ridiculous! Pick up one of your textbooks. You see all the words on the page organized in the chapters and headings? Now if I told you that that book just evolved over millions of years, you would look at me like I was an idiot. But yet you want everybody on here to believe that these complex creatures which are built with a sophisticated language, system called DNA somehow randomly came to be. I look at you, like you’re nuts!

because most animals in the ocean live in the lightless abyss 😕

The deep sea fish that throw light that sticks to predators how are they called what’s their name
??

Bioluminescence has never evolved. Update your science. Life was designed. DNA is a language. Animals are engineered. Bioluminescence is both functional and beautiful by design, not by happenstance.

I grew up with a bioluminescent rabbit. :D He had octopus genetics spliced into his own to show when other unrelated inserted gene sequences were activated.

That's a smooth segue if I ever heard one. Well done.

For the terrestrial bioluminescent animals, don't forget the Ropen and Pterosaurs!

Perma dark, that's why.

I wanna show this to everyone I know but I can’t because I don’t know anyone else as obsessed with sea creatures as me :(
Also the Hawaiian bobtail squid is my new favourite animal

Our teeth are bioluminescent...so what? Doesn't mean there's an actual function associated with it.

adaptations??? evolved??? Or created as they are? No evidence of any evolution at all.

No, in the 20th century knew all about glowing oceans, and decaying phytoplankton being the cause of many glowing oceans

Evolution is a BIG FAT LIE. This you are a LIAR. I can't listen to your lies anymore.

Repent and seek God while you still can.

Because the ocean is dark.

Can we stop with this "evolve" nonsense please!! An outdated, fake theory by a racist pushing favoured species

Lucifer has entered the chat

I'm guessing is cus it's fucking dark 😮
Scary too

There are many mysterious sea creatures, are there any that glow that humans haven't discovered yet?

There is a few terrestrial snail species that have bioluminescence too but they are are mollusc so I guess their ancestors aren’t exclusively land animals so i don’t know if it counts

fishes 💀

Me: Ah, what a quite and peaceful day.

Meanwhile everyone in the ocean: SOLAR FLARE !!! 🙌

why is there muzak?

posmoo9790 said it best. Because it's dark.

Maybe life in Europa's Ocean look similar.

Two words: Fire Flies 🔥 not In the ocean . Have bioluminescence
