Follow Keera and Kira on a magical journey to discover:
- What’s special about a bioluminescent animal’s body
- An exotic Brazilian mushroom that glows in the dark, and how scientists discovered its purpose
- What happens when scientists inject genes for glowing proteins into traditionally non-glowy organisms
