여러 신비한 특징을 지닌 오리너구리에게 또 다른 신기한 생태가 발견되었다.
바로 및을 낸다는 사실!
어둠 속에서 오리너구리에게 적외선을 비춰 보니 털가죽이 청록색 형광빛을 띠고 있었다.

화려한 색깔은 ‘나 독 있어!’라는 경고라고도 한다.
하지만 분홍산누에나방은 독이 없는 나방이라서 잡아먹는 새도 있다.
화려한 겉모습은 가혹한 자연에서 살아남았다는 증거일지도 모른다.

여우원숭이는 노래기를 털가죽에 문질러서 그 독으로 기생충이나 세균을 지닌 모기를 쫓는다.
마치 ‘벌레 방지 스프레이’처럼 말이다.
그런데 노래기의 독에는 또 다른 놀라운 쓰임새가 있었다.
그것은 바로, 취하게 해 주는 것!
독을 아주 살짝 마시면 알딸딸해지면서 여우원숭이의 기분이 좋아지는 모양···.
