Undersea photographer Kristian Laine often travels to the mysterious ocean to photograph all sorts of wonderful creatures. But on this day, he encountered a creature that shocked him, and when he was shooting in the water near Australia's Great Barrier Reef, he accidentally found a huge ghost bat in the camera. Curiously, its color turned out to be bright pink. At first, he thought it was a problem with the light, but when he looked at it clearly, he found that it was really pink.

As soon as he returned, he posted his photos online to share the wonders he had seen. Later, I learned that this pink ghost bat was very famous in the local area. The first discovery was in 2015, and the discoverer was stunned. People also named it Inspector clouseau after a character from "Pink Panther". Later, people encountered it one after another, but it was only encountered 8-10 times in total. To meet this special ghost ray, luck is worth the explosion.

Marine biologist Solomon David said that the general ghost bat color is black, white or a mixture of black and white. The ghost bat's pink color is very special, or super bright pink, which may be the result of genetic mutations or albinism. Although scientists have analyzed its skin samples, the reason is still not clear.

However, since the same race is black and white, will the pink ghost bat be too bright and easy to be found and killed by predators? Marine biologists say don't worry for the time being, it is really a huge ghost bat, visually measuring a ton or so, much larger than the average ghost bat.

Speaking of ghost bats, it is also quite miserable, and has evolved itself into an ornamental fish, and the meat quality is not delicious at all. As a result, it was said that its gills had extremely high medicinal value and could treat cancer and infertility, so it was hunted down in large numbers by humans. The number has decreased dramatically and has been classified as a secondary conservation animal by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

I have to say that people are really powerful, not only to spread rumors about people, but also to let animals go, resulting in a kind of animals on the verge of extinction. If it is said that eating human flesh can lead to longevity, will someone also try?
