From the yellow mongoose and the blue morpho butterfly to the lesser green broadbill and the pink fairy armadillo, animals come in a rainbow of strange and wonderful colors. "If an animal is colorful, it is likely that its brilliant skin, scales, or feathers somehow help it stay alive." The blue-tongued skink, for example, "startles attackers by suddenly thrusting out its huge, shockingly blue tongue." Includes a chart that describes the size, habitat, and diet of each animal mentioned, along with facts about its life cycle. Full-color cut-paper illustrations.
