[QUOTE="PseudoDave, post: 9401, member: 123"] The pigmentation to avoid uv damage is a different thing to adopting colours from your surroundings. We get tanned and people are different shades because of the sun exposure and because brown's better at protecting us than white. Changing a colour to suit environment would in my view require the animal to 'conciously' (for want of a better word) change to that colour. Cuttle fish, Various Octopus, various lizards etc can do this, but i'm not aware of any mammal that can do it, would be nice though, i'd get one :-D [/QUOTE]
