Why they have blue testicles?
According to the histology, velvet have dopa-positive melanocytes in the dermis, each packed with full mechanised melanosomes. The turquoise blue colour is due to Tyndall scattering over a layer of melanin. Their intense red and blue colour ass and genitals help them to attract females. Moreover, female monkeys prefer males with more vivid colours so the larger and colourful genitals are more captivating and attractive to females.
According to the historical evidence the velvet monkeys was inhabitants of this settlement around 2000 BC.
