Green feathered avians: yes, they exist.

Green skinned reptiles: most of 'em.

Green skinned/haired mammals: anyone know of any?



(No, the phosphorescent transgenic rabbit doesn't count )

    For those of you wondering, the transgenic rabbit is called Alba and gets it's fluorscent gene (Enhanced Green Fluorscent Gene) from a jellyfish. Eduardo Kac was the man responsible. It looks perfectly normal in daylight but glows green in the dark.

    Wait, are these anywhere in the wild? And, where can I get one. I want a cute, furry night-lite.

    There's only one glow in the dark rabbit, called Alba.



    No, they don't exist in the wild.



    Some good examples of greenness so far.

    maybe more blue-green than green-blue



    and there are "olive baboon" images, but it may be more of a colour cast from the camera than actively green fur ... see below







    as for green skinned mammals... how about whales?

    Sometimes sloths move so slowly that green algae grows on their fur. They can become quite green.
