Some scholars assert that animals change its color in response to their environment because changing color is easiest way to cause optical illusion and do not need much time for hiding themselves from predators. Although this thesis is embroiled in controversy,new idea came up which rebut previous theory.It contains the idea that protection could not be just one clear explanation of animals changing theircolors because some researchers have found out that most animals are color blind. Their color works as a visual signal of mood or the process of evolution. To back up this opinion the explanation of animal’s physical difficulty will be discussed.As mentioned above, this thesis is very controversial. Most people believed existing theory; animal changes its color in order to protect itself. Nevertheless, the new theory, which is protection is not only reason to change its color, had more evidences that can verified, so many scholar is now fuel to new theory. Now let’s compare existing theory and new theory for approach to the fact. Many people Zoological scientists have insisted animals change its color to blend itself with its surroundings and therefore escape the attention of predators or preys. For example, the white fur of polar bears helps them in becoming less visible on the snow when they go in search of ringed seals used by them as their food. Toad is another example. Most toads have dull coloration - browns, greens, grays - to help camouflage them in their environment. However, those statements can be denied due to physical difficulty.A major factor that confute the theory of protective coloring is that most animals do not have proficient ability to distinguish colors as human beings do. Animals and humans have rods and... ... middle of paper ... ...e two male chameleons fight each other. While superior one's color changes as dazzling, losing another one's color changes as somber; it is a kind of an expression of sense of superiority. It changes its color as black when it gets mad, and if they it changes its color as unique, that means the mating season is coming soon. Octopus and squid also can change their color by their feelings. In conclusion, animals absolutely can change their colors for survival, however, protective coloring could not be just one clear explanation of their shapes and colors. Considering the facts mentioned above, the statement that animal’s color is the result of convincing its survival is partly correct, however, protection is not a main point for changing its color. Nevertheless, the diversity of animal’s colors pleases our eyes. The way of nature is truly profound and mysterious.
In this observation, the purpose is to understand ethology, which is the study of how an animal’s
Colors of cretin things can appear different at some situations. For example, blood as we know it is red, that color that you see through your eyes of the blood in our veins is “red” but underwater, at 30 feet underneath the surface your blood turns, or rather appears green due to the light bouncing off of it is much less than it is at the surface as mentioned in the article “Did you know that your blood is green underwater?” by Fun Facts (see Article 2). These examples got me interested from the class discussions we had and how the philosophers viewed sense perception and the kind of thought they had of
The guppies in safer waters emerged with larger spots of colors and they tried to differ themselves from the gravel and the guppies in dangerous waters became smaller and showed less color and blended to the gravel.
The face and front half of the hippopotamus body is gray, while in between its front feet and back feet it becomes turquoise. However, the back-left foot of the hippopotamus is partially turquoise and partially gray. The gray color of the hippopotamus is vibrant, meanwhile the turquoise part of the hippopotamus is muddled. It is muddled because of the black lines, which make the turquoise parts seem like a puzzle, for instance if one removes a piece of the hippopotamus’ midsection between his feet it can be easily be put back because of the black lines. Moreover, the lines on the hippopotamus’ face, the diamond shaped plants, and the hippopotamus’ eyes are also black. The texture of the hippopotamus seems smooth. Additionally, there seems to be a crack where the leaf is near the leg of the hippopotamus. Moreover, the crack shows that underneath the turquoise color is gray. Perhaps the hippopotamus was originally painted gray and then was painted turquoise. Additionally, the hippopotamus looks as though it is glowing because it is shiny. However, the turquoise part is not as shiny it is dull, perhaps because the turquoise color was painted on over the gray color. The color of the Model Hippopotamus is connected with the tone of the Model
Furthermore, the grey squirrel’s color and size are distinctive traits that separate it from other species. First of all, coloring stays the same when it comes to males and females. Its hue ranges from pale grey to dark grey (Fischer, Lawinczak, Pagad). Its ears, underparts, and tail are all white to pale grey. Ginger-colored fur can be found on this squirrel’s head, hips, feet, and underparts (Lawiczak, Pagad). A natural occurrence among the grey squirrel is melanism, meaning it has an elevated amount of melanin in its pelt (Fischer, Lawinczak, Pa...
We as humans are alway changing and growing this idea however is the same for all living things. This idea was develop by the theory of evolution by Charles Darwin. This theory provide insight to how evolution has changed species over time. Which, through this article I will be addressing the mechanisms of evolution as well as how Charles Darwin helps to provide insight to how the mechanisms of evolution works.

It was determined that infants develop color vision at or around three months of age and that when final results were evaluated and compared to adult (only) measures, actually have better quality color vision (Brown et al., 1994). An interesting study by Chase (1937) made efforts to discover the identities of color in which infants that aged 2 to 10 weeks old were tested to find out what colors they could perceive. The results they came up with were that very young infants could tell the difference between the primary colors and combinations but there were numerous limitations to the study (Chase, 1937). The study had placed infants to lie down and view a screen while observing eye movements (Chase, 1937). Findings by Franklin, Pilling, and Davies (2005) explain that color categorizing occurs in four month old infants and adults alike. A study by Bornstein, Kessen, & Weiskopf (1976) has supporting evidence that color is categorized in 4 month old infants and determined the boundaries within...
Second, some corals in New Caledonia were found fluorescing with vivid colors. This is in fact a chemical sunscreen they secrete in order to protect themselves from the heat they are experiencing. In a way, their brilliance can be a tool for people to notice them and their current situation or as what one scientist said in the film, it is an “incredible and beautiful face of death”.
Kandinsky, one of the first abstract painters, was heavily interested in color in art. He developed various theories and ideas on the attributes of color in art and the best way to use them in his own art. Different emotions and energy are created depending on the amount of color used in an artwork such as if one color is used versus three colors. The energy that color creates in art can also set the tone of a piece. Color can cause ones feelings of emotion to become to sleepy or stressed, happy and excited, sad and angry, energized, and so much more. Kandinsky came up with a color theory that focuses on basic points. Kandinsky chose colors such as yellow, green, blue, red and the shades of red, brown, orange, violet, white, black, and grey. He felt that yellow evoked warm, cheeky and exciting feelings. Green was a color that meant peace or stillness and an absolute absence of movement. Although these feelings could be a good feeling for most, it could eventually evoke boredom. He felt that blue was a heavenly color and the lighter it is, the more calming it becomes. If Kandinsky genuinely had a favorite color it undoubtedly was blue. He mentions that the deeper the color blue becomes, the more strongly it will call a man towards the unbounded, inciting in this man a desire for the pure the supernatural. He mention that the brighter the color blue becomes, the more it begins to lose its sound and after losing its sound it turns into a silent stillness and becomes white. Kandinsky's belief in color and the emotional connection it causes in art is evident in all of his work. The many colors in Kandinsky’s color theory have definite meaning and further show that color was much more than a tone or palette choice in art for him. Although Kandinsky was coined the Father of Abstract Expressionism, his works would be nothing without
The comparative method is a species that can be studied and compared to the search of understanding human behavior. The physiological outlook elucidate the performance of how the nervous system and hormones reacts to the body, what precedent of the transformations in the structure can affect one’s behavior, and how the brain operates. For example, when a cardiologist operate on someone’s heart. He has the expectation of extending that individual's life (Thomas Spray). Another comparative method utilized is the investigation of inheritance. This technique engages a species inheriting genes from its parents. For instance, when the offspring with dark skin complexion begat blue eyes this trait is hereditary. Each of these biological aspects consisting of the comparative, physiological and the genetic systems explicates human behavior. This dissertation will focus on the brain, the nervous system, and the ways in which these physiological mechanisms interrelate.
In the art and the anthropology, the avatar chromaticity colors indicate the use of colors as a symbol in all cultures. Psychological chromatography refers to the effect of color on human behavior and emotions, as distinct from light indications. Moreover, avatar colorimetric and the color psychology are based on the cultural links with varying according to the era, place, and culture. In fact, one of the colors can have many symbols as well as different psychological effects in the same place. Broadly, the avatar colorimetric is a continuous field of ongoing studies relies on a wide range of anecdotal evidence heritage and also the scientific researches. Furthermore, no one has asked him/herself why he/she prefers a special color and the response is that according to the research, because the colorful dresses enhance your mood and lead to the atmosphere of fun, in contrast to the dark colors which indicate some of inwardness and sensitivity.
The human brain is attracted to the presence of color and it leaves a satisfying feeling when it is perceived.(The Psychology of Color—How Color Affects Human Behavior) This can be applied to an everyday society by helping to improve behavior through the spread of colorful graffiti. Color not only attracts the attention of the brain, but it also leaves a lasting impact because of its uniqueness and difference between the norm.(The Psychology of Color—How Color Affects Human Behavior)
Over time, scientists who studied the human body learned that variations in skin tone appeared to be adaptive traits that were passed through genes from parents to children. These traits corresponded closely with geography and the Sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
The first known studies of color were done in ancient Greece by Aristotle, theorized that color existed in the form of rays sent down from the heavens by God. His theory was not disputed until the Renaissance when Aguilonius and Sigfrid Forsius developed more sophisticated color systems. Aguilonius's system was the first attempt at def...
