Red is a distinctive color. The few animals who possess it as the color of their skin, plumage, or exoskeleton have unique pigmentation genes.

Predatory red animals use their color to attract curious unsuspecting prey. Regarding the smaller animals, their color serves as a form of aposematic coloration, warning predictors of imminent toxicity.

Their red color warns predators that they are foul to eat. If that doesn’t deter predators, they can play dead and secret a foul-smelling alkaloid from their limbs. They are dependent on aphids for food and help control the aphid population.

Should a predator grab the tomato frog, it secretes a mouth and eye-numbing toxin, making the predator free it from its grasp.

These birds get their names from the similarity of their colors to the distinctive red robes worn by Roman Catholic Cardinals.

Female red velvet ants are wingless and have a solid, painful sting. The mature insects diet consists of nectar, only occasionally feeding on insects.

This fish inhabits the deepest and lowest parts of the ocean, where their laterally compressed body and red colors help them blend in with the coral reefs. Cardinal scorpion fish are highly poisonous.

Scarlet tanagers males are only red animals during their breeding season, which lasts from May to August.

These organisms can reproduce sexually by releasing sperm and egg into the ocean, fertilizing them. Or by asexual reproduction, where a limb is broken off and regenerated into a separate individual.

These frogs secrete toxic alkaloids from their skin when alarmed. The toxins are pretty poisonous, disrupting normal cardiac function.

The dorsal surface of the male glider’s wings is a deep red, while the ventral surface is brown.
