There may be black terrain that allows them to blend into the environment and ovoid predators, or maybe it keeps them warmer if it is located in a cold region, thereby reducing the amount of resources they need to spend to stay warm.

Explanation:

mtDNA is inherited from the mother of a child, this is because mitochondria are in the cytoplasm and the father's gamete (sperm cell) contributes very little or no cytoplasm to the zygote.
