[NatGeo]

Some animals might appear blue, but they are deceiving you. What are your thoughts on this trick of the eye?

[nocsomoky]

People:
People: I saw a blue butterfl-
NatGEO: well yes but actually no

[thetwelfth]

So in short: the Smurfs have been tricking us since 1958.

[daanm]

'they appear blue'
yeah when something appears to be blue, we call that: 'blue'

[InvestorAcademyPodca]

So, animals cannot be blue except for the ones that are blue.

Video: uses the light spectrum to explain why things look blue

Me: that's literally how every color works wtf

TITLE: *ANIMALS CANNOT BE BLUE*

03:02 *_proceeds to show animals being blue_*

When National Geographic starts using clickbait, that’s how you know we’ve reached the peak

[pman]

Should've been titled: "Why Blue is Such An Interesting Color in The Animal Kingdom" not "Animals Cannot Be Blue" because they can and you even said so in the video

[thetravelingdoc]

The video ends with "If you can't trust your own eyes, what can you trust"
Inner me: Definitely not your channel.

Me:It's rare in our planet.😊

[frann]

National Geographic:
Animals cannot be blue

Poison Dart frog:
Am I a joke to you

[matthewstephens]

No blue pigment, but they're still blue. Semantics.

[jerryable]

Shows a bird that's faking a blue color

Peacocks: Hold my beer

[NeilLopes]

The rarity of blue is what makes it exotic and beautiful.

[bentleyboy]

Pigment or not, if it looks blue, its blue. If blue light is reflected from an object, that object is blue. That's quite literally the definition of color.

[ZOMGILOST]

Blue light is produced when blue wavelength of light is reflected, right? Regardless if there is blue pigment or not, as long as something reflects blue light, then it is blue.

‘Animals can’t be blue’

Olivewing butterfly & blue poison dart frog:
