Apart from the cetaceans, which mammals are blue? And which are red? In fact, which are anything other than Beebo's brown, black or white? Or grey I s'pose for ellyflumps etc.

oranguatans are orange

some monkeys have blue bottoms (awaits arrival of @Fnaar ...)
and there are some with red bottoms

Orange is kinda brown though. But there is this fellow

Squirrel monkeys in certain lights are yellowish-green.

why aren't there any green mammals?

Because God never made any

Because green against brown is worse than brown against green when they're not in lush forest.

If you put your bib shorts or longs on inside out, you're halfway to doing a reasonable impression of a baboon

Try spotting a tiger in scrub..
tho a green coat would be handy at times.

isn't chlorophyll the reason?

Very true. Some years back we were visiting Rathambore National Park in India. In the middle of dense (green) woodland our guide suddenly whispered "Tiger" and pointed. We looked hard but couldn't see anything until we realised the 2 year old male was less than 3m away looking straight back at us. Like some bizarre optical illusion, one minute it was invisible the next there's a huge orange, white and black creature there.

Not green though!

 

[classic33]

The real answer is, because there are no blue plants
