Scientists from Uruguay's Institute of Animal Reproduction modified the gene of nine sheep using a green fluorescent protein found in the Aequorea Victoria jellyfish.
Result? Sheep that glow in the dark but that are otherwise completely normal, according to the scientists.
The sheep were born in October 2012 and were immediate injected with the green protein.
Today, the sheep emit a glowing green colour when exposed to ultraviolet light.
