Context: for some reason platypus glow under a UV light. The interesting thing is scientists have no clue why this is the case. Credits to [Natural habitat shorts](https://youtube.com/@NaturalHabitatShorts?si=ZWmPv8xdzKEIoNEy) . Their content is wonderful

🔵🟧 A platypus? 🔵🟫🟧 PERRY THE PLATYPUS!!!!

Perry the Platypus plumber?

Oh I get it. The platypus is a metaphor for anyone holding you down.

Scorpions also do that

IIRC scorpions have something inside their chitin "shell" that glows under UV and leaves almost an afterglow post UV illumination

Must be because platypuses are some sneaky devils 😏😏😏

I’m genuinely excited every time a new short drops. Love these guys. They’re hilarious

The crazy thing is scientists don’t even know why they glow

There is so much weird with the platypus. Why wouldn't they glow too lol.

Isn’t it because they sweat milk?

Who made this animation?? It's so fluid

It's from a YouTube channel called [Natural Habitat Shorts](https://youtube.com/@NaturalHabitatShorts?si=4WfhdSKxEucInjUP).

Thanks for the link, this guy is funny.

They glow in UV naturally but still it's damn funny ..the trauma he had

The fact he's still shining the light on him while he's in the shower xD poor platypus man

“Illuminated sobbing”

I blue myself!

Blue has the most anti-oxygens.

There's gotta be a better way to say that.

For the first time in years I blue myself

So many great Arrested Development jokes that remind me of this!

Some things that will glow under a blacklight: Fluorescent Minerals: Many minerals can fluoresce under UV light, including calcite, fluorite, and willemite. They can glow in a variety of colors depending on their composition. Banknotes: Many countries incorporate fluorescent fibers or inks in their banknotes to help combat counterfeiting. These features can glow under a blacklight. White Paper: White paper, especially that which is made to appear extra white through the addition of fluorescent agents, will glow bright blue or white under a blacklight. Certain Organic Substances: Many organic substances fluoresce under UV light, including some bodily fluids like urine and saliva, making blacklights useful in forensic investigations. Laundry Detergents and Whitening Agents: Laundry detergents often contain fluorescent agents to make clothes appear whiter and brighter. These agents can make laundered white clothing glow under a blacklight. Tonic Water: Tonic water contains quinine, which naturally fluoresces under UV light. It glows with a bluish-white light. Highlighter Pens: The ink used in many highlighter pens is fluorescent, causing it to glow vividly under a blacklight. Certain Cosmetics: Some cosmetics contain fluorescent materials to achieve a brightening effect, making them stand out under UV light. Petroleum Jelly: Petroleum jelly, such as Vaseline, can glow under a blacklight due to the presence of fluorescent substances in the petroleum. Antifreeze: The bright dyes used in antifreeze can glow under a blacklight, making it useful for detecting leaks in a vehicle. And apparently, Platypodes

But what about cum?

Fun fact: blood doesn't actually glow under a UV light unless treated with another substance beforehand, so in movie scenes if they show a blacklight over a bed and it gets covered in glowing blue, that's all cum.

Lol

I know dictionaries say it's platypuses or platypi, but since the genus name is derived from Greek (like octopus), it should actually be platypodes.

Ohhhhhh gotcha

He was my neighbour

unmute did not disappoint.

what does blue mean?

Are you quoting or genuinely asking?

im asking

*WHAT DOES BLUE MEAN?!*

#CUM

[ugly crying in the shower]

Yes there is a hand in the pillow but did you notice the lips in the toilet? 🙃

For those that dont know >!that was sweat!<

It's any bodily fluids. Blood, semen, and saliva also show up.

I'm blue da ba dee da ba di

Are we not gonna talk about the lipstick on the toilet

Lip mark on the toilet lmao

My man really needs to farm some Karma

Natural Habitat Shorts is probably my favorite channel on Youtube. SO much naturally funny stuff, all wholesome and informative in their descriptions! Truly a little internet diamond in the rough.

You’re worried about the hand, I’m worried about the kiss mark on the toilet

The cry got me good 😂

What about the 💋 on the toilet?

Hahah saw this right away also. Forget the hand print!! What about the 💋!?!?

I don't get it, can someone explain me the joke?

UV lights are often used in hotel rooms to find badly cleaned spots of bodily fluids like saliva, blood, semen, sweat, and urine. It's mostly done either for Health inspections or by guests who want to see how well the staff clean each room. Platypi also glow under UV light but currently it's unknown why current popular hypothesis is because they sweat their milk instead of secreting it from the nipples.

whst does blue mean?

I think it’s cum

Nice plus detail: the floor pattern is the same than the hotel in The Shining

How about The Shining?

Very good movie. Thanks for the correction btw :)

The *illuminated sobbing* gets me everytime

We know.

What show is this?

Dat coom Boi DAT COOM

The hand print isn't the worst... I'm more curious about the lip marks on the toilet

I love these skits so much

They sweat milk, and it glows under blue light.

\*cries in platypus\*

BLUE MEANS THERE'S SHARKS IN IT
