For those of you wondering, the transgenic rabbit is called Alba and gets it's fluorscent gene (Enhanced Green Fluorscent Gene) from a jellyfish. Eduardo Kac was the man responsible. It looks perfectly normal in daylight but glows green in the dark.

Wait, are these anywhere in the wild? And, where can I get one. I want a cute, furry night-lite.

No, they don't exist in the wild.
Some good examples of greenness so far.
maybe more blue-green than green-blue
and there are "olive baboon" images, but it may be more of a colour cast from the camera than actively green fur ... see below
as for green skinned mammals... how about whales?
