When it comes to colors in the natural world, you can find animals for pretty much every color imaginable. Some avoid bright colors, preferring not to draw attention to themselves, while others wear it proudly, giving other animals a warning: "I'm dangerous, rethink attacking me."
It's no easy task finding and photographing these dangerous animals, but Matthijs Kuijpers, a Dutch photographer, has spent the last 27 years doing just that. As a result, we are lucky enough to see gorgeous and careful photos of some of the most dangers, and rare, cold-blooded animals out there. If you love these photos, check out his campaign to publish a book of these incredible animals, or check out his instagram!
