I once saw a hedgehog that was covered in rave paint - it was luminous green! To this day i still haven't worked out whether it was an act of outright cruelty or simply a misguided clubber who thought they were doing the hedgehog a favour (it was in the middle of the road when i saw it). Im guessing thats not the sort of irridescent you mean though?
Nice spot and thanks for posting this. It does raise questions as to what the purpose is for a blind creature! The link they are suggesting to its ability to burrow is certainly intriguing - among other things does this mean we should making irridescent miners?
