The bird known for laying luminous eggs is the Nightjar, a nocturnal bird found in various parts of the world.
Nightjar eggs have a natural luminescence, a rare feature in the animal kingdom. This glow is believed to help camouflage them in the dark environment
The phenomenon of bioluminescence in these eggs is thought to be a result of the bioluminescent bacteria that colonize the eggs' surface
The glow helps the eggs remain unnoticed by predators, especially in the dimly lit areas where Nightjars usually nest.
The luminous eggs of the Nightjar are an amazing example of nature’s ingenuity in ensuring the survival of species in harsh environments.
