The color of fur in animals can vary widely, ranging from solid shades to intricate patterns. Common colors include black, brown, white, gray, and red. Some animals, like tigers, have stripes, while others, like zebras, display distinct patterns of stripes. Fur color can serve various purposes, such as camouflage, attracting mates, or signaling health. Fur color is influenced by genetics and environmental factors. Different breeds of animals, such as dogs and cats, exhibit a range of fur colors due to selective breeding. Additionally, seasonal changes can affect fur color, as seen in arctic foxes, which change from brown in summer to white in winter for better camouflage.
