Psychadelic Rabbit Glows Because Of Mad French Scientist

Though the reason why you need a glowing rabbit seems elusive, it technically doesn’t glow. When you place the rabbit under a black light, it will shine like the moon. The scientists accomplished this by extracting specific DNA from a jellyfish which provides it with its luminescence.

Technically this becomes a question of chemistry in the hair of the rabbit. The skin doesn’t glow, it’s the hair. Animal hair is constructed so that there are partially hollow strands which act as insulation during the cold weather months. While it is on a microscopic level, it does provide purpose.

The big question about our glowing hossenfeffer is will it still be able to survive a harsh winter? The luminescence is not a miracle. It is a mutation. So is it found in the fibers? Or perhaps in within the hair itself?

Though the reasoning behind an illuminating rabbit seems odd, certain French scientists thought there was a need. While the rabbit technically doesn’t glow after it’s genetic mutations, when you place the rabbit under a black light, it glows like a glow stick at a rave in Amsterdam. Maybe that French scientist was going on vacation and needed help with the ladies.
