In the picture above, both the red and blue photons bounce (scatter) 4 times while they are penetrating the skin. But because the red photons travel a longer distance in between scattering events, they manage to penetrate both layers of skin. The melanin in Tissue B absorbs the red photon so it can’t leave the skin and reach your eye. The latter were conducted at the Peabody by Sargis and co-author Chris Gilbert, a former Yale postdoctoral fellow who is now a professor at Hunter College-CUNY.

Pourquoi stories” are ones which give explanations for the origins of animals, and also some of their characteristics. They are present in many different cultures, and are often now told to entertain. This one fits the bill perfectly. Just why is it that some monkeys have startlingly coloured faces - and rear ends? This book offers an explanation why. Prum, Richard O.; Torres, Rodolfo H. (2004). "Structural colouration of mammalian skin: Convergent evolution of coherently scattering dermal collagen arrays" (PDF). Journal of Experimental Biology. 207 (12): 2157–2172. doi: 10.1242/jeb.00989. PMID 15143148. S2CID 8268610.The Lesula ( Cercopithecus lomamiensis) seems to have escaped previous scientific notice because of its remote habitat, which was largely unexplored by professional biologists until recently. This is a lovely story of how the animals got their different colours and patterns, and the illustrations are very colourful and eye-catching.

The Monkey with a Bright Blue Bottom Paperback Book

For monkeys, color plays a vital role in their lives. They use color as a means of communicating non-verbally with other monkeys. A colorful bottom is one of the ways they have these non-verbal conversations. Have you ever gone on a zoo trip and come across some monkeys with red butts? If you didn’t know about these primates, that might have come as a surprise. Charpentier, M. J. E.; Mboumba, S.; Ditsoga, C.; Drea, C. M. (2013). "Nasopalatine ducts and flehmen behavior in the mandrill: reevaluating olfactory communication in Old World primates". American Journal of Primatology. 75 (1): 703–714. doi: 10.1002/ajp.22146. PMID 23526642. S2CID 25612927.Mandrills mainly live in tropical rainforests but will also travel across savannas. They are active during the day and spend most of their time on the ground. Their preferred foods are fruit and seeds, but mandrills will consume leaves, piths, mushrooms, and animals from insects to juvenile antelope. Mandrills live in large, stable groups known as "hordes" which can number in the hundreds. Females form the core of these groups, while adult males are solitary and only reunite with the larger groups during the breeding season. Dominant males have the most vibrant colors and fattest flanks and rumps, and have the most success siring young. Why anybody wants a monkey as a pet is completely beyond us. 18 US states have no restrictions on having monkeys as pets. It’s legal to keep pet monkeys in the UK with a license. Conflicts can occur and troops can split. Or different troops can become friends and join up as a single troop! Not only do vervet monkeys recognise different relationships with different monkeys, they understand the relationships between other individuals. Very few other animals demonstrate this behaviour.
