I kind of think raccoons look cuter without those dark circles :D
What 20 Animals Would Look Like Without Their Most Distinctive Features
Nature is a world full of beauty and color. Colors are part of the natural habitat, that camouflage or enhance the most beautiful animals on Earth. These animals are not only extremely beautiful, they also possess unique characteristics that make them easy to identify, like a zebra with its stripes, a peacock with its majestic feathers, or a butterfly with vividly colored wings. But have you ever wondered what these creatures would look like without these distinctive traits that we all know them for?
With this in mind, Bright Side imagined what some of nature’s most popular creatures would look like without their quirks. While these furry friends and happy creatures are still cute, they prove that it’s these distinctive details that make them so beloved and unique.
1. Panda
This image definitely represents us when we are sleep-deprived and 100% tired.
2. Tiger
Striped or not, the tiger remains one of the most adorable felines we have ever seen.
3. Raccoon
It seems that the raccoon has finally taken off its black mask and revealed its true identity.
4. Zebra
This zebra without stripes resembles a white horse with a short mane, doesn’t it?
5. Giraffe
Have you ever imagined what it would be like to see a giraffe without a long neck and brown spots?
6. Elephant
Fact: The elephant’s trunk enhances its beauty. It’s been scientifically proven by Bright Side.
7. Fox
Without their iconic orange color and bulky tail, the fox looks like a wolf.
8. The fennec or desert fox
It is difficult to say which of the 2 versions of the fennec fox is cuter.
9. Peacock
In the image below, the peacock only has warm colors. It’s the explosion of colors that counts, isn’t it? We still find this one amazing!
10. Penguin
On the right, we see the penguin without his famous “tuxedo.”
11. Flamingo
There is nothing to discuss here... A flamingo is not the same without its characteristic pink color.
12. Deer
This deer version reminds us of our childhood Bambi in adulthood.
13. Koala
With a big or small nose, it’s very hard to resist the charms of a fluffy koala. They’re all extremely cute! We would love to be that branch so that this Australian native would hug us too!
14. Rabbit
This rabbit with small ears is basically identical to a guinea pig.
15. Ladybug
A ladybug without its bright red back and without the black dots is not really a ladybug. It also looks a bit more like a scary insect!
16. Butterfly
The beauty of the butterfly is present in the design and the vivid colors of its wings, but it was worth checking out how it’d look like without them.
17. Clown fish
Without its distinctive white ribbons, Nemo’s cousin here looks pretty much like a goldfish.
18. Dolphin
The bottom photo in this collage shows a dolphin that has no dorsal fin. Any resemblance between this sociable mammal and a baby manatee is purely coincidental.
19. Crab
Have you ever wondered what a crab would look like without its pincers? It’s kind of strange right?
20. Dalmatian
We’re pretty sure Cruella would not like Dalmatians that much if they didn’t have those cute little spots that they’re famous for.
What is your favorite animal? What animal would you like to see without its main characteristics?
