Camouflage coloring is common among animal life.  Many mammals use camouflage 
hair colors.  Among non-mammals, an animal's coloring is often green to match 
foliage.  There are many green arthropods, amphibians, and reptiles.  I have 
never seen a green mammal.  Thank you for your thoughtful consideration.
