  There are no green mammals because of some biology reason I can’t 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 don’t even have the red.

        True, but they aren’t mammals.

    Also, the vast majority of mammals don’t see green either.
