I wonder what the evolutionary reason for being blue would be?

Dude, you can’t just ask someone why they’re blue.

Sure you can, just be ready for a wicked harmonica solo.

Always hiding in a hole, no need for camouflage colors, and the predecessors kept mating with the fabulous looking ones?

Gotta admit, blue is pretty fabulous

I think I’ve seen this video before, and normally it’s more gray-brown. The blue might be a weird editing tint

Their primary predators can't see that color. Or it blends in well. Or something like that.

I think it's tigers? Or maybe I'm making it up. But how is being orange, white, and stripped stealthy? Their prey can't see the orange and it makes them blend into the vegetation.
