Red Eye

Photographer Larry Lynch captured this haunting, demonic shot of a Florida alligator in the dark of night. The red glow is due to a layer of light-amplifying tissue in the gator’s eye called a tapetum lucidum, the same thing that makes cat eyes glow in photos.

I will now be closing this window, so that I can one day sleep.
