I'm not sure if this is in the right place. If not, move it. There are lots of lion and big cat characters floating around with bright colors like blue and purple and I finally came up with an explanation as to why those would exist. Keep in mind this is my personal explanation for it. I'm not telling anyone they have to adopt this view. My new view is that whenever a lion or other big cat is born with oddly colored fur or markings, it means that they have magical powers of some sort and in this way, a pair of perfectly normal looking lions could give birth to a cub that had green fur or something of that nature. Still doesn't help in hiding from predators or when they're older concealing themselves from prey but I thought it was a pretty good theory as to how oddly colored felines could exist. This was kinda inspired by the fact my light blue lioness, Raskada, is a shape shifter and healer and a lot of times brightly colored feline characters do end up having some sort of magic power I've noticed.
