A shiny is a very rare Pokémon that comes in a different color than usual. It may be a fictional concept, but nature has no shortage of similar surprises. Animals, plants, food, and other unexpected finds can all come in shades that make them look completely out of the ordinary.
That is the premise behind the subreddit r/RealLifeShinies, where people share their most fascinating colorful discoveries. We’ve picked some of the most interesting posts below to show just how strange and beautiful things around us can be. Scroll down to take a look.

I was on a vacation in Michigan a couple years back and there was a leucistic crow that must have lived near our rental! Very cool, saw it almost every day with what I would assume was its partner or a friend!

For anyone who tends to lump crows and ravens together…ravens are much larger in size, and their beaks are also shaped quite differently than those of crows…

In the US you have to k!ll these if you catch them. They're not supposed to be here and they decimate the native populations. It was a big deal about 10 years ago. Someone ever made a cheap horror movie called Snakehead Terror. 😂
