Wow! So blue and green eyes are structural too? That’s amazing.

Beautiful video. Evolution is remarkable. Like all good videos on science it makes me want to know more.
Lot of words I will not remember but what I will remember enough to google is that it is microscopic assortment and “hollowness” that selectively filters wavelengths to produce reflection that enables these beautiful “structural” rather than I guess pigment-based, blues.
Quote I found by googling, trust the source more than the quote — “Structural colors are created by the physical form, or structure, of some plants, animals, and minerals. For example, the Blue Morpho butterfly’s wings have microscopic scales with tiny grooves in them; the grooves amplify blue color reflection, while canceling out every other color.” http://naturalhistory.si.edu/education/teaching-resources/featured-collections/what-makes-things-blue#:~:text=Structural colors are created by,canceling out every other color.
So in my own paraphrased and cobbled together words, structural color is different from pigment. Pigment is based primarily on the absorption of light and reflection back of some of it, while structural color is based purely on the reflection of light by microscopic structures somehow arranged to wavelengths of light.
Science is insane. Truly a remarkable world.
Amazing. Love those kinds of side quests. Reminds me of Mass Effect.
Bear sex. Not what I would expect from this game but I haven’t played any in the series. It does make me want to play it just to see how this fits into the story tbh. Good marketing.
There’s a South Park episode where they use “Emoji Analysis” to determine the identities of internet trolls. I am not original commenter but I laughed when I read their comment because indeed this research is a bit similar to the trend analysis they do in that episode.
