🐯🦧🦊Let’s Meet Some Orange Animals🐯🦧🦊
There is no exact number to tell us how many different species of ginger animals there are in the world, as the word "ginger” covers animals with a red or ginger colouring, but it could run to hundreds, if not thousands.
Today we are going to look at a few in the OP and feel free to post more on the thread.
The first one is probably the best known and that is the ginger cat, which is predominantly male. To become a female, you must have 2 copies of the X chromosome from the parents, as these contain their fantastic colouring. About 20% of ginger cats are female. They make "interesting" pets and are full of character. I have been fortunate to have one many years ago, and now have a very, shall we say, “interesting” one !!
The next real cutie is the gorgeous red randa. I want one. You have to love these creatures for their beauty and antics. As usual, these beautiful animals are endangered, and some say fewer than 2500 are left in the wild. Due, of course, to humans. Climate change, deforestation, poaching and the illegal pet trade count for most of it.
A familiar visit to some gardens, lucky people, is the red fox. Another beautiful animal, which will happily take any food that is offered to them, and if you are lucky, they will bring their cubs to visit. They are very common in towns and cities where they adapt to living there. We do get the odd one in the garden, but not regularly, unfortunately.
Not forgetting the red squirrel, which is very rare in England and Wales. There are, however, some in Scotland and on the Isle of Wight. They are endangered due to habitat loss and the common grey squirrel, as they compete better for food and habitat, and also they carry a deadly virus to red squirrels called the pox virus, which only affects red squirrels, and their numbers are in decline.
Ok, there are a lot more ginger animals around, so let's post them on the thread together with anything ginger animal related, music gifs, pics, etc. and tell us if you are lucky enough to have or feed any ginger animals, whether wild or tame.
