Animals that produce their own light

Bioluminescent animals produce light by emitting light in two ways. One is by absorption of light from the environment, and the second is by emitting back light. The process is known as bioluminescence and requires a complex chemical reaction involving a special class of proteins. The proteins that generate the light are called luciferase. These proteins emit cold light, which produces very little heat. The bioluminescent organisms that depend on them for their survival would die if they received too much heat. While light is visible to some extent in most animals and humans, it is usually not noticeable.
