Why some fish can glow in the dark?

Some fish have special body parts that make light, or they have tiny living things inside them that glow. This helps them to see in the very deep, dark parts of the ocean where no sunlight reaches.

⭐ Bonus fact: Glow-in-the-dark fish use their light to find food, attract mates, or even scare away predators!
