Nature: the Queen of all wondrous things and the keeper of the most unexpected loveliness. From gorgeously unexplainable geological marvels to a veritable rainbow of flowers spread out far and wide, there is no end to the myriad of ways in which mother nature can astound us. And she doesn't only need bright vibrant colors to paint with. She creates her incredible pieces even with a simple monochromatic palette.
We've got pearly white albino animals and melanistic black beauties. And then there are these pretty critters, painted with swirls of both of these shades (because two is always better than one). These 20 black and white animals are clear proof that Mother Nature works just as well on the greyscale as she does with colors!
