Abstract

The color of an animal is by no means a matter of chance. It depends upon many factors, such as, the presence or absence of certain hormones within the body, the temperature of the animal's surroundings, the amount of light which is present, and certain chemical reagents with which the animal comes in contact. Animals have both color and coloration; and it is necessary to discriminate between the two terms. Color is associated with actual shades or hues as red, green, or yellow; whereas, the term coloration refers to the manner in which the individual colors are arranged into patterns.
