Beautiful children and animals invariably cause emotion. But if everything is complicated with children, then with the most beautiful animals everything is more or less clear. So reset your “mimeter” and get ready to admire. And we will show you photos of the most beautiful animals. And yes. The most beautiful boys and girls we also have.
10. Glass Butterfly (Greta oto)
One of the strangest and most peculiar butterflies in the world. The wings of Greta Oto are devoid of colored scales, and therefore their texture is transparent, with the exception of brown edges. This causes them to change color, depending on the environment in which the butterfly is located. Such an amazing ability allows butterflies to merge with vegetation, hiding from birds and other natural enemies.
And if the bird nevertheless eats a glass butterfly, then such a dish will not be glad. Being a caterpillar of Greta Oto, it feeds on plants of the genus Cestrum and accumulates poisonous alkaloids. Therefore, an adult butterfly is nasty in taste. But we will certainly not verify this.
9. Friesian horse (Friesian)
This beautiful and graceful animal is not for nothing received the nickname "black pearl". Friesian horses are one of the oldest domestic horse breeds in the world. The first mention of them dates back to the 13th century. And now they are part of the Golden Crew of Queen Elizabeth of England.
These horses have exclusively black color, and differ from their counterparts in long and very thick villi (friezes), covering their legs from the hock, and falling to the hooves.
8. Mandarin duck (Synchiropus splendidus)
Looking at the photo of one of the most beautiful animals in the world, it is hard to believe that it is a creation of Mother Nature, and not skilled artists or jewelers. The mandarin duck got its name for its resemblance to the brightly colored mantle of Chinese mandarin officials.
Despite their beautiful color, these most beautiful fish are very shy and prefer to appear at night. Stealth contributes to their near-bottom lifestyle, as well as small size (about 6 centimeters). They can be, but difficult to breed in aquariums, because of the specific eating habits.
7. Dolphin (Dolphin)
Our friendly sea neighbors symbolize the joy, freedom and immediacy that are so lacking in the modern world with its ever-contracting grip of total control.
Dolphins look like they always smile. And one of their kind is able to cheer up. There is even a special dolphin therapy, which helps treat autism, speech, hearing and other problems. These beautiful and funny creatures perfectly correct the psycho-emotional background of a person. But people, unfortunately, do not always reciprocate with dolphins. And they hunt them, for the sake of meat or just for fun.
6. Peacock (Pavo cristatus)
The list of the most beautiful animals in the world cannot be complete without this magnificent creature. When you saw a peacock, didn’t you want to get at least one feather with eyes from its tail? So I wanted to. This bird is a real supermodel, demonstrating its beauty to everyone who passes in front of it.
But it turns out that the peacock's tail consists of gray feathers, inconspicuous in appearance. And what is called the tail, in fact, is the feathers of the mantle. Their length is 140-165 cm.
Peacocks have many variations of plumage coloring. There are even snow-white peacocks, and these are not albinos. Their plumage is white as snow, and their eyes are blue, while in albinos the iris is usually red or pink.
5. Blue Dragon or Blue Angel (Glaucus atlanticus)
Believe it or not, these majestic "water dragons" are actually one of the types of gastropods and close relatives of snails. These beautiful creatures swim in ocean currents and rely on their blue-silver colors to disguise themselves from predators such as seagulls. To stay at the surface of the water, blue dragons swallow air bubbles, as a result, their back is lower and a well-developed leg is adjacent to the water surface. They seem to creep along the film of surface tension.
Like many brightly colored sea creatures, the blue angel has excellent protection against enemies. He eats poisonous jellyfish, and accumulates their poison. Therefore, this mollusk does not have a shell, very few people want to feast on it.
4. Peacock Spider (Maratus volans)
Who said spiders can't be cute? Of course, this is not about the biggest spider in the world, but certainly about the motley one. Little is known about this species except that its representatives live in the lush vegetation of the coastal dunes of Western Australia.
These tiny (5 mm long) spiders attract females with their brightly colored abdomen, similar to a peacock tail. Seeing a suitable beauty, the spider lifts its abdomen and proudly spreads it, and then raises a pair of paws and performs an incendiary dance in front of the chosen one. Well, how to resist such a gentleman?
3. Fan-bearing crowned pigeon (Goura victoria)
If the peacock can boast of magnificent mantle, then the beauty of the fan-bearing pigeon is in its crest. It consists of feathery feathers, with outgrowths in the form of elongated triangles.
These bizarre birds, found in New Guinea, prefer to nest in swampy forests and saga palms. Fan-shaped crowned pigeon is a rare and almost endangered species. And the reason was the beauty of his feathers.
2. White Bengal Tiger (Panthera tigris bengalensis)
The second most beautiful animal in the world is the embodiment of grace, grandeur and power. It is not surprising that the tiger appears in many myths and legends.
Due to genetic mutations, some Bengal tigers are born white, which makes them even more beautiful. In addition to color, white tigers differ from relatives also in blue eyes. On average, one white is born per 10 thousand ordinary Bengal tigers.
1. Fenech (Vulpes zerda)
If you love foxes and think that they look better in the wild than on someone else's neck, then you will definitely like pictures of Fenechs in their natural habitat. Phoenixes differ from other foxes in their long ears, which allow animals to hear their prey (small vertebrates and insects) moving under the sand. And light fur helps reflect light throughout the day.
Little foxes from the deserts of North Africa won the hearts of not only ordinary people, but also some writers. For example, in Frank Herbert's science fiction novel Dune, the Phoenixes are one of the few inhabitants of Arrakis.
Fenechs can be kept as pets, they are cheerful and picky in food, although they are sensitive to cold and like to turn loudly.
