Abstract
Colour in animals is mainly due to the presence of Pigmentation in their skin, fur, feathers, scales, or other body parts. This
coloration can play an important role to provide various purposes, such as camouage, communication, protection from
harmful UV radiation, regulation of body temperature, and even social signaling. Animals achieve pigmentation through different mechanisms
like pigment cells, structural colours, biochromes, and selective absorption. Some animals have pigments that selectively absorb certain
wavelengths of light while reecting others. This absorption and reection result in specic colors. Pigmentation often plays a crucial role in
animal survival and reproduction. It helps animals to blend into their environment to avoid predators or prey, attract mates through displays of
vibrant colors, or signal dominance or submission within a social hierarchy.
