10 Lovely Orange Animals
10: Painted Bat
A native of southern Asia, the painted bat possesses long, wooly orange or white hair over much of its body, while the wing membranes are covered in black. This color scheme may provide camouflage to help them blend in with their roosting sites, which can include tree hollows, trunks, dense foliage, and human buildings or huts, where they make use of echolocation to help them navigate their environments.
9: Goldfish
The goldfish is a lovely orange animal that comes from a small freshwater brown or gray carp, native to East Asia. More than a thousand years ago in imperial China, the species were selectively bred for domestication. It began to acquire many distinctive sizes, body shapes, fin configurations, and colors. Golden orange is by far the most popular in the aquarium trade, but yellow, brown, white, and black are also possible.
8: Clownfish
The clownfish is a group of some 30 species that form a mutual relationship with sea anemones. The species you’re probably most familiar with (both because of its popularity in the aquarium trade and from the film “Finding Nemo”) is the common or ocellaris clownfish, which is characterized by three white vertical rings separated by black lines around its orange body.
#7: Orioles
Orioles are a large group of songbirds with slender bodies and pointed bills. There are dozens of different species, divided into New World or Old World types. Males have contrasting yellow or orange bodies with black heads and backs, whereas the females and juvenile birds tend to have duller gray plumage.
6: Golden Lion Tamarin
This small endangered monkey, which lives in the coastal forests of Brazil, gets its name from the bright ginger hair that covers almost everything except for the bare face and feet. While the body only measures about six to 10 inches long, the tail is comparatively enormous — it can reach between 12 and 15 inches, enabling them to cling easily to trees.
5: Monarch Butterfly
Monarch butterflies are lovely orange animals that are characterized by large wings, measuring up to four inches long, with tawny orange areas separated by white veins that make it look somewhat like stained glass. White spots also occur around the fringes of the wings. Monarch butterflies produce four generations per year, each one living about four to five weeks long.
4: Cock-of-the-Rock
Most people have probably never heard of the two species (the Andean and the Guianan cock-of-the-rock) that form this genus of perching songbirds. Both species are native to the humid forests of South America at elevations up to nearly 8,000 feet. The males are covered in bright orange and gray/black plumage with a huge crest emerging from his head, whereas the much more demure female has duller plumage and a smaller crest.
3: Red Fox
The red fox is one of the most common animals in all of North America. Measuring about 36 to 42 inches long, it is covered in reddish-orange fur color with a white chest and black markings around the tail and feet. It has numerous other color morphs as well, including gray, silver, and cross. Their preferred habitats are mixed forest and grasslands ecosystems, but they can conceivably live anywhere, from deserts to tundra. These highly adaptable animals have even thrived next to human cities and suburbs.
2: Tigers
The tiger is the largest living cat species in the world, but it has become rare and endangered over the past few centuries. Several distinctive subspecies are recognized, including the Bengal tiger, Siberian tiger, and Indochinese tiger. Tigers come in various shades of orange and brown with white areas on the underside and black stripes along the entire back, face, and tail, each pattern being unique to the individual like a fingerprint to a human.
1: Orangutan
The orangutan takes the spot among the loveliest orange animals in the world. It is a genus of three orange-colored primate species, two of them from the Pacific island of Sumatra and another from Borneo. With their long powerful limbs, orangutans spend most of their time in trees, foraging for wild fruits such as figs, mangosteens, and lychees.
