Müller's explanation of the mechanism for this was one of the first uses of mathematics in biology. He argued that a predator, such as a young bird, must attack at least one insect, say a wasp, to learn that the black and yellow colours mean a stinging insect. If bees were differently coloured, the young bird would have to attack one of them also.
Melanistic black eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) Melanistic guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) are rare, and are used in rituals by Andean curanderos. [1]Melanism is the congenital excess of melanin in an organism resulting in dark pigment.
Pigs possess both apocrine and eccrine sweat glands, although the latter are limited to the snout.

[7] Pigs are less able than many other mammals to dissipate heat from wet mucous membranes in the mouth by panting.

Point coloration may be represented by a pale body color and relatively darker extremities, such as face, ears, feet, tail, and external sex organs, as seen on Siamese cats. [1]

The areas with different color may be referred as 'points' or being 'pointed'. [3] Color can spread to the rest of the body, but is concentrated on the extremities.

To do so, they gathered up the debris underneath their bodies using their arms. They then used their siphon, a tube-like part of their body, to expel water aimed at the debris.
