I noticed some animals (two actually) have black coloration on their gums where the roots of their teeth are. Hell, I've even seen it on some humans when I looked closely. Maybe I've been unobservant and never noticed it before (certainly seems to have been the case with people all along) but maybe I noticed it because it suddenly apepared. What does it mean for animals and humans?

It didn't suddenly appear. It's been there for a long time. I've definitely noticed that on several dogs in the past. I doubt there is much significance.

lol this topic is funny to me. There are many things that aren't significance in this world, and if you choose to believe in evolution, there are undoubtedly bad sides to it such as not have 20/20 vision, which anyone can benefit from.

Ashtray: We didn't even do nothing.

Officer Self Hatred: What? You think you tough?

[pulls gun on Ashtray]

Officer Self Hatred: You ain't so tough now, little nigga. I hate your black bastards, you *stink*! I hate your black skin. I hate your black pants. I hate black pepper. I hate black keys on a piano. I hate my gums, because they're black. I hate Whoopi Goldberg's *lips*. I hate the back of Forrest Whittaker's neck. Huh? Most of all, I hate that black-ass Wesley Snipes.

People who fail to distinguish Socratic Method from malicious trolling are sadly stupid and not worth a response.

Well, here's a start:

The gingiva are naturally transparent; they are rendered red in color because of the blood flowing through them.

How about this?
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=human "black gums" dental hygiene

Edit: Okay that doesn't seem to help much.

By the way, why don't you tell us which 2 animals have this discolouration, instead of saying "two actually"?

I'm starting to think people should be banned for posting random shit like this in topics.

If it doesn't interest you then get the fuck out.

Oh. Well then it's probably some kind of gum disease.

Aha, I have found what seems to be a plausible answer. Apparently it's just melanin leaking over. Thinking back on it, none of the people I noticed having that were white. And cats... well they have their own pigments I guess.
