“The Government Forgot To Color This One”: 77 Stunning Color Mutations In Animals And Objects That Feel Unreal (New Pics)
A shiny is a very rare Pokémon that comes in a different color than usual. It may be a fictional concept, but nature has no shortage of similar surprises. Animals, plants, food, and other unexpected finds can all come in shades that make them look completely out of the ordinary.
That is the premise behind the subreddit r/RealLifeShinies, where people share their most fascinating colorful discoveries. We’ve picked some of the most interesting posts below to show just how strange and beautiful things around us can be. Scroll down to take a look.

I was on a vacation in Michigan a couple years back and there was a leucistic crow that must have lived near our rental! Very cool, saw it almost every day with what I would assume was its partner or a friend!

For anyone who tends to lump crows and ravens together…ravens are much larger in size, and their beaks are also shaped quite differently than those of crows…

I Found A Baby Albino Oak In My Garden Some Years Ago, And Realized That Plants Can Be Albinos Too, But They Do Not Live Long Since They Cannot Photosynthesize
BeesEelsAndPups 7 months ago
Because you can never trust anything that you see anymore. Thanks to AI. I decided to look this up. Not only can plants be albino, but this is correct. They do not produce chlorophyll so they tend to die very young. Except for some trees which will graft themselves to the roots of healthier trees to survive. Essentially becoming vampires. And if that isn't cool, I don't know what is.

In the US you have to k!ll these if you catch them. They're not supposed to be here and they decimate the native populations. It was a big deal about 10 years ago. Someone ever made a cheap horror movie called Snakehead Terror. 😂
