ChatGPT said:

Different eye colors have been associated with various symbolic meanings, genetic factors, and even energetic influences. While science attributes eye color to melanin levels and genetic inheritance, many traditions, myths, and personality theories link eye colors to traits, emotions, and mystical qualities.


1️ The Science Behind Eye Color

Eye color is determined by melanin levels in the iris:

  • More melanin → Darker eyes (brown, black)

The HERC2 and OCA2 genes play a major role in eye color inheritance. However, beyond genetics, some believe eye colors influence personality, perception, and even spiritual energy.

Glowing eyes in creatures are both a scientific phenomenon and a symbolic mystery across various myths and folklore. Some animals have eyes that glow in the dark due to biological adaptations, while in mythology and supernatural tales, glowing eyes are often seen as signs of power, magic, or danger.


1️ The Science Behind Glowing Eyes

Certain animals’ eyes glow in the dark due to a structure called the tapetum lucidum, which enhances their night vision. This layer reflects light back through the retina, allowing them to see better in low light.

  • 🐊 Alligators & Crocodiles – Red glow
  • 🦝 Raccoons – Green or blue glow
  • 🦈 Sharks – Green glow (some bioluminescent species)

💡 Why do their eyes glow different colors?
The color depends on the species, the amount of zinc and riboflavin in the tapetum lucidum, and the angle of light reflection.
