Many bioluminescent animals use light to trick other creatures. The glowing shape on the underbelly of the large cookie cutter shark, for example, looks like the sun or moonlight on the surface of the water. From below, other creatures can mistake the small dark areas between the shark's lights for small fish. When an attacking fish moves in for what it thinks will be a quick meal, it can become a meal for the shark instead.
The show also includes some of the many bioluminescent organisms that live on land. The "Creatures of Light" exhibit continues at the American Museum of Natural History in New York until early next year.约翰·斯帕克斯组织了本次展览。他是一位专门研究小马鱼的海洋生物学家，那是一种生活在浅水的生物。它们在白天发出与周围环境相似的光亮。这使它们难以被其他鱼类发现。
许多发光生物通过发光迷惑其他生物。比如，下腹发光的大型鱼类雪茄达摩鲨在水中看上去如同太阳或者月亮一般。在水下，其他鱼类会把该鲨鱼发光体中间的小块黑色区域错当成小鱼。当其他肉食鱼类向那个区域游去自以为可以饱餐一顿时，这条鱼就成了该鲨鱼的晚餐。
展览中还包括了陆地上许多发光生物的发光器官。在美国纽约市自然历史博物馆名为“生物之光”的展览将持续到明年年初。
