There are other accepted variants from the range of colors, markings, and patterns each species of animal can have in Real Life, like solid-colored, non-tabby red cats. Several species of penguin, like the Fairy Penguin ◊, have a naturally blue sheen to their feathers, but many animated penguins tend to be bright blue. Sometimes animators exaggerate the range of colors, patterns, and markings found on each species of animal in Real Life. Funny Animals, in particular, seem to be prone to this. It just doesn't exist naturally, since there are no pigments in mammal fur/hair that can produce these colors many mammals also have poor color vision to begin with, so brightly-colored fur wouldn't have much of an evolutionary advantage in reality. For instance, there is no green in mammals (unless you count fur tinted green because of algae) and blue is only found in a few mammal species (unless you count greyish-blue or a blue sheen). (A few reptiles here and there, too.) And while no one would bat their eye at a blue peacock with green tail feathers, a red peacock with bright purple tailfeathers would be distinctly more unusual. However, not all animals come in different colors - a lot of mammals tend to be the same grayish and yellowish and brownish and reddish colors we humans are, with the brightest colors reserved for birds, insects, and fish. Animals use bright colors as a way of saying "Don't eat me! I'm poisonous!" or "Look at me! Aren't I a sexy beast?," or even for reasons we're not quite sure of.

And thus, the world is filled with Amazing Technicolor Wildlife.Īnimals are a bit different from humans - a lot of them do come in wilder, more flamboyant colors, especially in tropical areas. But they're not the only ones - sometimes, animators have a bit of fun when designing animals as well. Instead of being tan and brown, they'll be green, grey, and purple.
