    What is a Yoshi? The answer is not as easy as you may think. See, most people call Yoshi a dinosaur and that is really only the beginning.

    There's a better explanation for the Yoshi's having many colors. It's not camouflage, it's anti-camouflage. Look at lemurs, for example. They live on the island of Madagascar, where their only natural predator is the fossa. Standing out and finding each other is more valuable for them than hiding, so they're quite vibrant. There are many different kinds because on a small island the winning strategy is to specialize on certain kinds of food, which is exactly what Yoshis do -- different colored Yoshis get more benefit from the fruits that correspond to their color in Yoshi's Story.

      Considering the only real threat is piranha plants, which are stationary, (and the living lava but they would stay away from that because LAVA) this would make sense for Yoshi to adapt.

      It's more likely a Lakitu shell. It's completely smooth and the visible part is red. It's possible that the pattern is either drawn on by Lakitu to the shell so that swirl is a gang symbol for Bowser's army so Yoshi either wiped it off or Mario's Mama Mia wiped it off as he was riding.

    • @ashklootwyk

      Why are people speculating this? Miyamoto LITERALLY SAID the shell was a shell from the beginning. They added it so Nintendo would accept Yoshi as a character. They claimed he was a "turtle relative" hence the shell.
