Animal Color Change: An Unsolved Mystery
Scientists are puzzled by the appearance of a white Iberian lynx in Spain, and howler monkeys in Costa Rica, prompting calls for more research into environmental factors.
Some animals, like chameleons, octopuses, cuttlefish, and snowshoe hares, naturally change color, but the case of Satureja, a female Iberian lynx, is surprising. She has lost her natural brown and orange tones, but retained her unique black spots.
No one knows the reason for this striking change in coat color, which had already been observed in another lynx previously.
- Environmental factors, such as exposure to chemicals, may play a role in these anomalies.
- More research is needed to understand the causes of animal color change.
