Nature contains all kinds of colors. The color scale is endless. In the same way animals also have different colors owner.

But if you’ve ever noticed, There are no green furry animals. Let’s discover together the reason for this interesting situation.

Actually, we’re wrong about camouflage.

Furry animals generally do not live among green leaves. Mammals and birds usually do; brown, gray and black They live in forests, bushes or ground where colors like are dominant.

In addition, many mammalian predators (such as wolves and big cats) do not have particularly good color vision. Therefore, according to the brown coat, hunting is Green doesn’t have much of an advantage.

It wouldn’t be possible if we didn’t mention evolution.

If having a green coat in nature provided no advantage in the predator-prey relationship; for example, a mammal with green feathers is more likely than brown feathers to live in the forest. if it is not more beneficial It may not have been evolutionarily selected.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop green colored feathers. physical and chemical structure, It probably did not arise evolutionarily in mammals or other furry animals, and unlike other animals, they do not have green pigments.

Bonus: As you can see in the photo above, sloths’ fur can sometimes be green, but this algae that live in their feathers It happens because of.
