Pink animals: 15 unique species (17 photos)

The fauna is so diverse that humanity is still discovering new species of insects, birds, fish and other inhabitants of the planet. First of all, a person, of course, will be captivated by the external diversity of our smaller brothers.





One of the brightest and rarest colors of living creatures is pink. It is not able to hide its owner from a predator in dense thickets or thick water, but it looks very impressive. We decided to dedicate this publication to the unique pink animals.

Raspberry-breasted petroica



One of the brightest and most beautiful birds in Australia. The size of this bird is incredibly small, it weighs only 11 grams.

Pink katydid





As a rule, katydid bodies are colored green. However, sometimes, due to a rare genetic mutation (erythrism), such bright individuals are born.

Amazon river dolphin



All dolphins of this species are born with the same skin color - gray. It gradually changes with age. The color intensity is affected by gender (males look brighter), habitat and water temperature.

Axolotl



Still think that the axolotl is a sea creature? But no! The creature is an Ambystoma larva (a special amphibian) that has stopped at the stage of neoteny - early development.

Wine Hawkmoth



Hawkmoths are the only moths that can hover in front of flowers and feed like hummingbirds. They are among the fastest flying insects on the planet.

Pink frogs



Some types of frogs have a white, almost transparent color. Due to the proximity of muscles and blood vessels, their color may resemble pink.

Spoonbills usually gather in small flocks, often teaming up with other birds. They feed in shallow water, moving slowly forward, shaking their heads from side to side and sifting through mud with their wide, flat beaks.

Bargibanta pygmy seahorse



The Bargibanta seahorse lives exclusively on fan corals and is so skillfully camouflaged that it went unnoticed for a long time. Scientists discovered it completely by accident while researching the life of corals.

Orchid mantis



Many animals disguise themselves as flowers to hide among them and then ambush their prey. For the orchid mantis, things are different. He sits alone on branches or leaves and pretends to be a beautiful, fragrant flower, waiting for the victim to approach him.

Pink starfish
