With that being said will that impact the way they play next year? They self destructed when that happened. I'm not gone lie to ya I had a couple tears for him because I always said he was a good player. His death I think really changed this city and the people who talked about him in a negative way also were affected by it. That's on thing I will give Mike Brown credit for because I didn't think he would do something like that. Most people not only from Cincinnati but the US gave up on this and just a couple people didn't. It was a long process and I never quit on Chris. The reason I say and don't get me wrong, anybody dying is sad, but with Chris we watched him grow from the once wild kid who people looked down on, to a man who turned it around. The first was sad, but I think when Chris died it took the life out of the team as well as the city. We lost two important people to the team and my heart goes to the Zimmer family as well as Chris Henry and his family. This was an emotional year and maybe the toughest in the history of the franchise. However fans feel about going 10-6 I'm still not sold. I feel like we will go back to the same old Bengals. The stylish look is just a bonus.I wonder will we see the exact opposite next season. Research from 2014 supports the theory that the stripes deter insects by disrupting the polarization of reflected light, which is known to attract biting horse flies. One commonly held belief is that the busy pattern confuses predators trying to pick a single zebra out of the herd. And for our subsequent first title in 44 years and maiden Premier League success, the second strip was (of course), red and black stripes. While that solves one part of the zebra stripe mystery, scientists still don't know why they sport their striking stripes to begin with. Genetically speaking, zebras grow black hair by default, which makes the animals black with white stripes. White zebra hairs contain no melanin, and they come from melanocytes that have been "turned off." In their normal state, these cells create the high-melanin black fur that makes up half of a zebra's signature coat. When a zebra grows fur, melanocytes in their follicles dictate whether a strand will be light or dark depending on where it is on their body.
#BLACK STRIPES SKIN#
Melanocytes are responsible for producing a pigment called melanin, which gives zebra hairs-and the hair and skin of all animals-their color. The true answer lies in a class of cells called melanocytes. This suggests that the quadrupeds are white with black stripes, but according to Live Science, this is still the wrong way to look at the question. The majority of a zebra's hairs are white-including the ones that grow on their bellies and inner legs, where their stripes appear to end. Zebras have black skin beneath their fur, but that doesn't mean that their stripes are necessarily white on black. To do so, we need to take a look at the microbiology of the hairs that give zebras their dual-colored pattern. After visiting the zoo or watching an animal documentary, you may find yourself pondering this classic conundrum: Are zebras black with white stripes or white with black stripes? Though it may sound like a philosophical query, it is possible to answer this question with science.
