Scientists are puzzled by the sudden change in color of certain animals, such as the white Iberian lynx in Spain.
Some animals, like chameleons, octopuses, cuttlefish, and snowshoe hares, naturally change color, but the appearance of a white Iberian lynx is surprising.
The animal, a female known as Satureja, has lost her natural coloring — the brown and orange tones so characteristic of the species.
Despite retaining her unique black spots, the reason for this change remains unknown, prompting scientists to call for more research on environmental factors.
