Did dinosaurs glow in the dark?
The beaks of many birds, chameleon bones, several amphibians, reptiles, and the platypus possess photoluminescent properties.
Photoluminescence is the ability of a material to absorb light of a certain wave frequency and re-emit it in another, in this case in the ultraviolet range.
Since reptiles and birds have the ability to see ultraviolet, it is likely that dinosaurs also had that.
It is therefore possible that dinosaurs could, for all intents and purposes, glow in the dark in this frequency range. The light would have been emitted in certain patterns or markings, just as modern animals with this feature do.
