What he meant to say was that Tasmanian Devils fluoresce under ultraviolet light. They also rip anybody who comes near them to shreds. Nasty little buggers!!
And the five colors of the rings represent the “five” continents: blue for Europe, yellow for Asia, black for Africa, green for Australia and Oceania and red for America (both North and South).
Researchers have created genetically modified cats and other animals that fluoresce. Search for “fluorescent kittens” or “fluorescent animals” on Google images.

Speaking of the Olympics, hopefully the postponed Games hosted in Tokyo last year don’t get re-postponed this year.

I think that RBION means ultraviolet light instead of fluorescent light.

Other animals also glow under ultraviolet light including platypuses, bilbies, bandicoots, and echidnas.

If I make a comment could I maybe not get quite so many bizarre unrelated political responses under it? Also: Wow! Them’s some heavy turtles!

If I start up a country, I’ll make certain that the flag has NONE of the colors that are on the Olympic flag! Orange, Blue and White!

Large sea turtle, small water buffalo.
The glow of Tasmanian Devils, and other Australian wildlife that also glow, was first noticed in August of 1945.
Must be the white.

I’m sorry, but there’s no way a sea turtle weighs as much as a water buffalo. Trick question perhaps?
