Nice little article.

They got iridescence wrong however (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_coloration). i also thing there are mammals (such as baboons) with reds and blues (which are not melanin based).


All this is science though, so someone might thing it is a communist plot, or an infidel plot, or a liberal plot, or an atheist plot, or Comedy Central, or Democrats, or "illegals", or ??????
