minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•8 days agoThere are no green mammals because of some biology reason I can’t remember.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•7 days agoYeah I think it was a balance patch, because mammals that could photosynthesize were too OP.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•8 days agoBasically all mammalian pigmentation is just melanin, so mammal colorings are mostly just different amounts of brown combined with different amounts of red, and some animals don’t even have the red.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-27 days agoNo, why is it so hard for mammals to make green? Even green eyes are just a reflection/interferrence trick.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•7 days agoIt’s hard to do with fur, I believe. Birds and bugs also don’t have green pigment, I believe. But they also don’t have fur.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•edit-27 days agoRight, i just remembered that green and blue in feathers is also just a interferrence trick. Same in bug shell.

Some birds and insects are green.
True, but they aren’t mammals.
