Think Pink!

Anyone that knows me will tell you, I am not a girly girl. So pink is one of my least favorite colors. Unless you're talking about new species, because I love pink animals! The pinker the better. We all know about the pink river dolphin and the pink flamingo...

But this year at least two new pink species were discovered, so I want to talk about them for a minute.

First is the pink iguana found in the Galapagos Islands. The only place you can find it is on the Wolf Volcano on the Isle of Isabella! Sounds like something from a mystery novel, right? So cool.

Next up is a fuchsia colored centipede found in the Greater Mekong Region. It's able to shoot cyanide to defend itself. Friendly little guy, isn't he? 8P

And, ofcourse, we can't forget the most elusive pink animal of all time! ;)
