This is just a question out of curiosity, but why are some T's brightly colored?
I have seen thread on what is the most colorful T, but not reasons why.
Evolution over time has created them this way and it seemed to have worked but it's almost counterintuitive to survival, to me at least.
Certain specimens that come to mind are:
P. nigricolor
C. cyaneopubescens
A. versicolor
P. murinus
I would think that evolution would create T's that look more brownish/tan/black or perhaps greenish if they live in a forest area.
Reasons that come to mind are to serve as a warning to predators, mating, camouflage. BUT considering T's are nocturnal, and basically blind, what reasons come to mind?
