5 adorable pink animals stealing the wildlife spotlight – The Times of India

Pink animals are like nature's cute and unbelievable surprises, much like cotton candy in the wild, getting spotted where you'd least expect them.

They don’t just look adorable; their rosy hues come from special biological reasons, like diets packed with pink pigments or genetic traits that make them unique and beautiful. From flamboyant birds strutting in wetlands to sneaky insects blending into flowers, these pink-coloured creatures use their colour as camouflage, a mating signal, or a bold warning.

Flamingos are the pink poster kids, wading in shallow lakes across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Their vibrant shade isn't natural, baby flamingos are grayish, turning rosy from chowing on shrimp and algae loaded with carotenoids. Greater and lesser species flock to places like India's Gujarat salt flats. These social birds build mud nests and filter-feed upside down; their long legs are perfect for muddy hunts.

These spoon-shaped bill wonders glow in soft pinks across Central and South America, plus southern US coasts. Adults have blush bodies with deeper pink wings, because of their crustacean diet. They sweep bills side-to-side in shallows for shrimp and fish, nesting in mangrove colonies. Feathers shimmer during breeding, when males flaunt brighter hues to woo mates.

Hidden on Wolf Volcano in Ecuador's Galápagos, this rare reptile has a mottled pink-and-black look discovered in 1986. Fewer than 200 roam the rocky slopes, munching on cacti and insects. Their rosy skin likely helps heat regulation in harsh lava fields. Critically endangered from invasive species and volcanoes, scientists track them closely.
