    Scientists have come up with a way to make transparent mice, but don’t get worried since you aren’t likely to see these rodents in your kitchen any time soon.

    The see-though rodents, complete with body organs, are not alive; they are meant to help researches study the interactions between the body and the brains. Obviously blood and other pigments are vital for the survival of mammals.

    Transparent creatures do exist in nature. Some sea dwellers lack pigment and some even boast of total transparency. These creatures look like ghosts or aliens from another planet. These creatures live in environments with total darkness. The extreme conditions and the absence of light make the creatures have characteristics totally foreign on the planet’s surface.
