Do you know what a protective color is? That's right, when the color of the fur, feathers or scales of the animal disguises it against the background of the surrounding landscape. And most of these fauna representatives.
But sometimes it seems that Mother Nature was suddenly bored with drawing and she splashed out the remnants of paint on the first beast that came in. Let's admire the most colorful animals of our planet.
Pheasants
The pheasant subfamily includes 55 species of very beautiful, brightly colored birds. This photo is clearly male. Only they have such a bright multi-colored plumage, a long luxurious tail and a purely masculine sign - a brutal beard.
Mandarin duck (main photo)
Unusually colorful, multi-colored ducks live in East Asia and stand out clearly against the background of their closest relatives. Like most birds, tangerine males are painted in more flashy colors. A pair of such ducks is called “yuanyang” in Chinese and is considered a symbol of fidelity.
Mandarin fish
This representative of ichthyofauna is included in the list of the most colorful fish on the planet. Natives of the western part of the Pacific Ocean, mandarin ducks are extremely popular aquarium fish. However, their maintenance causes some difficulties, because these fish feed exclusively on amphipods and hayed ones.

Large toucan
A very beautiful bird with an unusual color of plumage and a giant, as if polished beak. It is strange that he was also not called mandarin.
But both females and males of the species are colored the same, only “males” are larger. Large toucans live in the forests of Central and South America, where they eat figs, passion fruit and other fruits.
Lovebirds
The British call lovebirds lovebirds, which means "birds in love" and very accurately reflects their way of staying close to each other. Even these parrots have a very colorful eye that is very pleasing to the eye, contrasting, but gently turning from one color to another.
Clown fish
The extremely popular aquarium fish looks somewhat comical due to its red-white scales and feverish manner of movement. The color of the clown fish is all shades of red: from deep purple to blazing orange fire.

Panther Chameleon
A beautifully colored animal lives in Madagascar and the surrounding islands. Locals can meet a panther chameleon both on the coast and on a tree in their own garden.
Lilac Breast Roller
A bird with a funny name and a little ridiculous appearance lives in the savannahs of East Africa. Her multi-colored plumage miraculously combines lilac, purple, turquoise, brick, brown, white and green. The bird’s tail is like a swallow’s tail, which is why it is also called the swallowtail bluefin.
