According to a paper published in 2017, there are over 2 billion animal species around the world. This means that of all the creatures that exist we only know about 1% or even less and we also have no idea about what they all look like. That’s why when we see pictures of unknown species we’re amazed by how unique they look with their unusual colors or markings. But these unique color mutations can also be found in ordinary house pets that many of us have in our everyday lives.
