Question one, what bizarre thing happens to a Tasmanian devil when you shine a fluorescent UV light on it?

Uh, how? I don't know.

It glows in the dark.

Tasmanian devils are biofluorescent.

Their ears, eyes, and snout absorb UV light and then re-emit it as a bright blue-green glow.

If I saw a glowing-in-the-dark Tasmanian devil in real life, I would run screaming.

Why?

That'd be scary.

That would be cool.

I would take a picture, then run away first.

Oh, if it was in a zoo, awesome.

If it was in real life, ah.

Question two, Martin Joe Lorello was famously known as the human owl.

What could he do?

Fly.

The answer is turn his head 180 degrees to the rear.

So he could turn his head all the way backward.

Through years of practice and a naturally flexible spine, he could look completely backward over his shoulder.

I can get to about my shoulder, and that's as far as I can go.

His whole head could turn all the way around, so you would just see the back of his head facing when he was facing you.
