Man finds ‘Avatar’-like bioluminescence in Australian creek | ABC News

“It’s like something out of ‘Avatar.’" A man exploring the area around a creek in Brisbane, Australia, could barely contain his excitement upon discovering an “insane” bioluminescent glow in the water and surrounding mud.

All of sudden a croc pops put and grabs him or a radioactive kangaroo comes out of the depths of this unholy creek. 😂

It’s bioluminescence caused by tiny creatures in the water. 😊

I thought they were going to say this was Palestine Ohio, where the train derailed 😮

He kinda laughs like an Avatar character... The way he plays with his foot on the ground and the water as he discovers it is a reminder of the movie's childlike amazements when they switch from reality to the Avatar world. Cool !

I actually believe it’s plankton! A type of water life (not from SpongeBob)

We have that at the beaches here in SoCal! When the waves crash it’s beautiful!!!

Nice, just wished he would of turned off the light lol. If anything this is a great advertisement for the new Avatar movie.

Kind of hoping this is actually mysterious and you’re not just downstream of a portapotty factory or something.

[random]

Could be wrong but isn't that a type of plankton?
