Animals may have different criteria than humans do when it comes to beauty. This doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate it and all the ways it’s expressed. The beauty of animals has long influenced fashion, design and art, and it’s easy to see why, with their vibrantly colored feathers, unique markings and stunning facial features.
Nature didn’t just make animals beautiful to look good; it goes deeper than that. What we see as simply pretty fur might be a survival technique. Often it’s the animal’s fur or coloring that helps them hide from predators by blending into the landscape.
