10. Yellow mongoose
The yellow mongoose is relatively common and not an endangered animal, and its home is ubiquitous in southern Africa. In fact, biologists have identified 12 species of raccoon-like burrowing mammals. The yellow mongoose has golden fur , a pale yellow underbelly , and a white tip on its tail. With its fierce face and bare teeth, it's hard to imagine that this yellow mongoose is a close relative of the shy and adorable island mongoose mongoose on Montgo's Family TV. In fact, another name for the yellow mongoose is Red Mongo. The picture shows the home of this ferocious yellow mongoose at SouthLake Wildlife Park in Cumbria, England.
9. Yellow bird
From ducks and chickens to canary-whims to yellow willow warblers who visit American yards during migration, these little yellow-skinned little ones seem to be everywhere. Believe it or not, look at the yellow plastic duck in the bathtub. The only rare thing about yellow birds seems to be the American professional baseball stadium: Americans have "crested birds in red", "blue jays" and "orioles", so why don't there be clubs named after the noble goldfinch? There are many yellow birds, ranging from all yellow birds to partial yellow birds, coupled with their beautiful natural activity places, making them the object of bird lovers and professional photographers. Pictured here is a bird about to fly out of its nest, a woodpecker called the Golden-winged Woodpecker, which was photographed by photographers in the Forests of the Americas.
8. Yellow frog
Not all bright yellow frogs are poisonous, but some frogs of this color are poisonous. These soft and petite tropical frogs are preyed upon by many reptiles, birds and mammals. The bright yellow color is a warning to potential predators to beware of poisoning, and whether the yellow frog is poisonous or not, this threat can play a deterrent role. Photographer Stephen Desros photographs a tropical poison dart frog in a zoo's elaborately constructed natural habitat similar to theirs. While many zoos are designed to attract spectators, most zoos go to great lengths to ensure that the animals live a good quality of life or better than their lives in the internecine wild.
7. Yellow croaker
Yellow high-finned thorntails, yellow lionfish, yellowfin tuna, many fish have a "yellow" in their names, which shows how much they love yellow. Why is yellow so common among our fish friends? One possibility is that the sunlight shining through the sea doesn't make these brightly colored animals very conspicuous. Whatever the reason, the presence of yellow croakers has made the natural colors of the oceans and the countless tropical fish aquariums more beautiful and striking. The last image was taken by Howard Ho, and the bright yellow fish appears even more elegant against a red background. Brightly colored fish like this usually live in shallow waters, and deep-sea fish are more subdued in color, often using biolight to attract the attention of prey.
6. Yellow crab
Crabs are one of the most successful members of the crustacean family, and we can see them in many areas of the land and sea. Lobsters are close relatives of crabs, and the number of yellow members is extremely rare, and the chance of appearing this color is only one in 30 million. Unlike lobsters, yellow is more common in the crab family, and their presence adds a bright touch of color to the underwater world. The body of the tidal crab is elegantly pale yellow, the two claws are creamy, and the rod-shaped eyes are dark black. From a distance, they look like a moving lemon. In order to win the peace of mind of the opposite sex during the courtship process, the tide crab can be described as painstaking, they will dance large claws to attract the attention of the opposite sex, while intimidating any competitors.
5. Yellow anemone
Anemones have few natural enemies, which is why they dare to give themselves extremely colorful colors, and often show themselves in very bright and bright colors. Sea anemones have thorny tentacles that make it difficult for most fish to bite. Because of their immunity to toxins that can cause neuroses, clownfish often use anemones as their hiding place, making it difficult for predators of fish larger than themselves to attack. Anemones are not gregarious creatures, but they congregate in large numbers on coral reefs and surrounding areas to delight divers with their vibrant colors.
4. Yellow butterflies
We have no way of verifying the origin of the butterfly's name, but we can still explore the mystery of why many common European butterflies have a pair of butter-colored wings. After a long period of evolution, butterflies all over the world have been more or less cloaked in yellow. Perhaps the most plausible explanation is to match the color of the flowers they are going to land and suck on the nectar. When foraging, butterflies are most vulnerable to attacks by birds and insect predators. Regardless of the color they become in adulthood, the larvae of a butterfly are usually yellow as well. They resemble a snake, using large eye spots and bright yellow to discourage predators from asking for them as their next meal. Clouded sulphur is one of the most common butterflies. From early spring to late autumn, we can often see them in the suburbs. While flying from one flower to another is easy for predators to spot, small eye spots on the wings may help these little guys escape in time when predators approach.
3. Yellow crab spider
On flowers such as daisies and autumn unicorns in North America, we can often see the figure of the autumn unicorn crab spider (scientific name "misumena vatia"). A major feature of the autumn unicorn crab spider is the skull-like markings on the abdomen. An important reason why this covetous predator chooses yellow is that they often ambush prey that is larger than their own, and their ability to "bully the big with the small" is due to their amazing camouflage ability, and yellow is obviously a very ideal camouflage color. Although the autumn unicorn crab spider is often shown in yellow, it sometimes "changes the taste". If white flowers are chosen as their territory, they will change their body color accordingly to match this new background. This discoloration is achieved by the flow of liquid pigments from the lower "skin" into the upper "skin". It takes about 6 days for the Autumn Kirin Crab Spider to change from yellow to white, but it takes up to 30 days to recover its original face.
2. Yellow insects
Insects such as beetles, butterflies, and bees use yellow as their dominant color for many reasons. For bees, yellow is like a warning flag in road racing, warning potential predators that it's best to stay away from them. For other insects, yellow allows them to blend in with the plants they inhabit and avoid being spotted by predators. The Garden of Man li orchids is not only green and purple, but the small but conspicuous insect in the picture enriches the garden with yellow. Its shell and most of the exoskeleton contain a lot of yellow pigment, except for the calf and compound eye, the whole body is only yellow as a color.
1. Golden Snake
Yellow is not a common color for snakes, and latent predation is their main hunting method. Most of the golden snakes people see are actually albinos, and people who like the beauty, color or other characteristics of the golden snake often keep them as pets. Although they are sometimes classified as the "yellow snake genus", the golden snake on the accompanying picture is more likely to be the Karamel Burmese snake. The Burmese snake's albino variant has yellow and orange markings on its white skin, and its eyes are the most distinctive, supposedly similar in color to milk chocolate.
