When nature has fun with colors: 17 animals that seem straight out of a fantasy world
Diversity is, after all, the true source of wealth and on Earth, fortunately, there is no lack of it. Often, they are astounding: we may wonder at how a particular species has evolved, but we should try to embrace differences just as Mother Nature conceived them. Just look around to be amazed by the wonders of nature that surrounds us. Bright colors and bizarre shapes are the order of the day among the various species of animals, we just have to be lucky enough to see certain details and be surprised. In this photographic list we wanted to collect all those specimens with unique and rare characteristics that, usually, are less seen. Looking at them, you can't help but think about the fact that they seem straight out of a fairy tale or ... from a cartoon! Still, these wonderful creatures are absolutely real. Feast your eyes!

There's a great variety of tree frogs, eachin colors that are more beautiful than the next, but this little pink colored frog really impressed us!

This cat's genetic condition is called "chimerism", that is the union of two DNAs that give different genetic expressions: this is the reason for the eyes and face in two different colors!
