🐢 Green sea turtles have a unique relationship with algae, which gives them their green coloration. The algae live on their skin and shells, providing the turtles with camouflage and, in turn, benefiting from the turtle's movement which helps them photosynthesize.

🐍 Some animals, like the green iguana, start their lives with bright green coloration as juveniles but may change color as they mature, with males often becoming more brightly colored than females during mating season.

🐸 Many green frogs, such as the green and black poison dart frog, are brightly colored to warn predators of their toxicity. Their green coloration serves as a warning signal to potential predators to stay away.

🦠 The skink Prasinohaema prehensicauda, native to New Guinea, has bright green blood due to high levels of a green bile pigment called biliverdin, which helps them survive in low-oxygen environments.

🐌 Green sea slugs, such as Elysia chlorotica, are able to photosynthesize like plants due to the presence of chloroplasts from the algae they consume, which gives them their green color and a source of energy.

🌺 The orchid mantis, native to Southeast Asia, has evolved to resemble a flower petal with its pink and white coloration, but as juveniles, they are often green to blend in with foliage.
