Painting her creatures with an amazing palette that occasionally appears almost too perfect to be true, Mother Nature shows herself to be the supreme artist. She has produced living works of art from the depths of rainforest bottom to far-off river waters that highlight her limitless inventiveness and flare for the unique.
We have compiled photographs of some of the most brilliantly coloured species on Earth in this collection. These animals challenge our preconceptions of natural colors by flaunting hues so vivid and surprising that they seem nearly extraterrestrial. Imagine, if you will, frogs dressed in royal purple whose skin glistens in the dappled forest light like amethysts. Imagine instead dolphins, not in their customary grey but in startling pink, gliding across the sea like living neon streaks.
These vivid creatures are evidence of the amazing variety of life on Earth as well as aesthetically beautiful. Every unusual hue has a function—from romance to camouflage to communication. A poison dart frog's electric blue alerts predators of its poison; peacock iridescent feathers are the natural equivalent of a brilliant wooing show.
As you study these pictures, get ready to be astounded by Mother Nature's artistic ability. From the smallest insects with rainbow-hued wings to mammals flaunting unimaginable colors, every creature is a brushstroke in her great creation. Clearly, nature has allowed her most creative and playful side to run wild in producing these feathered, furred, and scaled wonders.
So back off and savor this visual feast of the most vibrant personalities seen in nature. Allow yourself to be carried into a universe in which every creature appears to be a living, breathing piece of art and reality seems to mix with fiction.
