Some people think pink is a pretty color. A fluffy, sparkly, princess-y color. But it's so much more.
Sure, pink is the color of princesses and bubblegum, but it's also the color of monster slugs and poisonous insects. Not to mention ultra-intelligent dolphins, naked mole rats and bizarre, bloated blobfish.

Slip on your rose-colored glasses and take a walk on the wild side with zoologist Jess Keating, author ofHow to Outrun a Crocodile When Your Shoes Are Untied, and cartoonist David DeGrand.
