Comment on Tigers đ đŻ
And then soon weâd have green tigers.
There are no green mammals because of some biology reason I canât remember.
Yeah I think it was a balance patch, because mammals that could photosynthesize were too OP.
Basically 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 donât even have the red.
Some birds are green.
True, but they arenât mammals.
Also, the vast majority of mammals donât see green either.
