My Funny Picture

What's the weirdest colorful animal ever?

I have to paint a picture for art class, and I wanted to do a weird animal. I mean REALLY weird. It has to have at least three colors, not inc. black or white. Thanx! I wanted a WEIRD animal, not a bird!!!

4. Yeah, the Mandril is it. Not to mention their ugly monkey-butts...
5. You want weird? Look at the bugs, my friend. They come in the most amazing array of colors, shapes, and designs you could ever imagine. My personal favorite is the orchid mantis. They camouflage themselves to look like orchid flowers, and do a pretty good job of it. I’ll include a link to a nice site with a few different kinds of praying mantis, including some orchid mantis. I hope that helps!
6. Sea slugs (aka nudibranchs)....they have a multitude of colors and shapes.
7. A wise woman once told me a Tarsier is the weirdest looking animal ever. It looks like something that came out of a science fiction movie and was trying to take over the world saying "My name is ROY and I own the parking lot!" Weird stuff alright!
8. Lots of fish come in odd colors although they may not be weird. http://pets.webshots.com/photo/1091868415039217872qjokcl http://pets.webshots.com/photo/1078133652039217872diMPbs Octupus are weirder than fish. http://www.arach.net.au/~ultrabert/Archives/images/Blue%20Ring%20Octopus%202.JPG http://www.blueboard.com/mantis/pics/caldwell_bluering.htm http://www.scubamom.com/bvi-diving/uwphoto2 These are insects http://jrscience.wcp.muohio.edu/Photos/ColorfulInsects.jpeg Mammals http://www.netsnake.com/sigrid/gallery/photos/hyena.jpg http://www.rth.org/sdzoo/Mhorrs%20gazelle.jpg http://pantransit.reptiles.org/images/1998-09-27/redpanda.jpg Other things from the sea (jellyfish, sea cucumbers, sea slugs, anemones, crabs...) http://www.obscurasite.com/images/wallpaper/jellyfish.jpg http://www.jaxondesignworks.com/images/Jellyfish%20Group.jpg http://www.caribdiveguide.com/sea_cucumber.jpg http://fp.enter.net/~mnorris/reef_sea_slug2.jpg http://www.externstein.de/natur/Krafttiere/sea_slug.htm http://www.discovercreation.org/kidpage/Banana-sea-slug.gif http://ca.search.yahoo.com/search/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Fca.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fp%3Dsea%2BAnemone%26ei%3DUTF-8%26fr%3Dks-ans%26b%3D41&w=200&h=182&imgurl=www.introduced-species.co.uk%2FImages%2Forange%2520striped%2520sea%2520anemone.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.introduced-species.co.uk%2FSpecies%2Fother%2Forange%2520striped%2520sea%2520anemone.htm&size=30.8kB&name=orange+striped+sea+anemone.jpg&p=sea+Anemone&type=jpeg&no=45&tt=12,605&oid=8f830a40741aeff8&ei=UTF-8 http://www.yksd.com/DistanceEdCourses/YKSDbiology/lessons/FirstQuarterLessons/Chapter3/images/2-3/flatworm2.jpg http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/photo62818.htm http://www.tapirback.com/tapirgal/gifts/friends/aquatic/crab-blue-plastic-f937.htm http://www.nature.org/ecards/images/crab.jpg http://www.diversion.de/cards/snail.jpg
9. Cuttlefish "shimmer" colours to communicate - it's amazing.
