Results: A kaleidoscope of colors
Published on 12/15/2020
Thanks to Tellwut surveys, we have explored destinations by land, sea, and air, immersed ourselves in other cultures, sampled bizarre foods and drinks, and expanded our knowledge exponentially. Let's squeeze in another colorful tour and rack up some more frequent flier miles before 2020 is a distant memory. Boarding passes in hand, welcome aboard ZPrencysi Airlinesz. We are in good hands with our licensed pilots ZHarietj and ZCitrinq; you remember them from our last adventure. As before, our flight attendants ZValshery, ZDskg, and ZAnemav will ensure we have a best in class flight.

Our first stop: India - This giant squirrel lives in the forests of eastern and southern India and is about 36 inches from nose to tail, twice as long as the average tree squirrel. The colorful black, brown, red-orange, white, and purplish fur is used to camouflage in the shade of the forest canopy. These squirrels are arboreal, meaning they live and eat in the trees and rarely touch the ground. They can leap up to 20 feet from tree to tree to eat fruits, flowers, and nuts. Are you familiar with this unique squirrel?

Peacock mantis shrimp - This wildly colored crustacean has a green-red-blue-orange shell and spots on its front legs. According to the National Aquarium in Baltimore, "it apparently has the most powerful color-detecting eyes of any animal, with 16 color-receptive cones (compared to humans, who have just three). This shrimp can detect ten times more color than a human, including ultraviolet light." Have you seen this shrimp up close and personal?

Tube anemone - With its 12-inch-long tentacles that it uses to capture prey, the exquisitely (and variously) colored anemone is beautiful. They are found in the shallows of coral reefs, and may resemble pale pink flowers or glowing green pompons. Unfortunately, they are favored by aquarists, who support an industry that removes them from their natural habitats. Have you ever seen a tube anemone?

Mandrill - This shy, boldly colored mammal is extremely rare and the largest of all monkeys. It is now threatened due to hunting and habitat loss across equatorial Africa. According to National Geographic, the blue-and-red face and powder-puff rump becomes even more brightly hued when the animal becomes excited. Have you heard of this unusual monkey?

Pink katydid - This rare pink katydid is actually more closely related to a cricket than a grasshopper. It is sometimes referred to as a long-horned grasshopper, according to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Only one in 500 katydids morph pink, due to a pigmentation condition related to albinism known as erythrism. Scientists speculate that their coloring gives them camouflage among forest flowers. Have you seen this unusual creature?
