1. JAVAN LUTUNG MONKEY

The Javan lutung (Trachypithecus auratus), is a beautiful golden Old World monkey from the Colobinae subfamily.

They live in rainforests on the island of Java, dining primarily upon leaves, fruit, flowers, and flower buds.

2. AMERICAN YELLOW WARBLER

The American yellow warbler hangs out throughout wet wooded areas in temperate North America, migrating to South and Central America during winter.

3. ALBINO YELLOW BURMESE PYTHON

The Burmese python (Python bivittatus) is one of the five largest snakes in the world. It lives in Southern and Southeast Asia, often found near water. The albino mutation renders lemon-yellow skin.

4. YELLOW-HEADED AMAZON PARROT

The yellow-headed amazon parrot (Amazona oratrix), is an endangered species. The few that are left, live in Mexico and northern Central America. It is a popular pet and an excellent talker.

5. YELLOW-BANDED POISON DART FROG

The yellow-banded poison dart frog (Dendrobates leucomelas), also known as bumblebee poison frog, is a beauty you’ll want to never touch. It can give you heart failure. Literally.

6. PANAMANIAN GOLDEN FROG

The Panamanian golden frog (Atelopus zeteki) is a rare and highly endangered species in the Cordilleran cloud forests of west-central Panama. Large doses of the toxins these frogs emit can be fatal within 20 to 30 minutes.

Some of these frogs are kept in captive-breeding programs in more than 50 institutions across North America and Panama, in efforts to save the species from extinction.

7. GALAPAGOS LAND IGUANA

The Galapagos land iguana (Conolophus subcristatus) struck Charles Darwin as "ugly animals." We disagree. They can grow to five feet with a body weight of up to twenty-five pounds, eating mostly prickly-pear cactus fruit, flowers, pads, and even spines. During the rainy season these yellow lizards feast on yellow Portulaca flowers. They can live up to 60 years.

8. PHYLLORHIZA PUNCTATA JELLYFISH

The Australian Spotted Jellyfish, Phyllorhiza punctata is quite beautiful in its native habitat, in the West Pacific, from Australia to Japan. It looks like a floating yellow bell. These jellies feed on plankton and can grow more than two It feet in diameter.

9. YELLOW FACE MONKEY

Yellow Face Monkey is Black and Beautiful Saki.

This yellow face belongs to a Saki monkeys, of the genus Pithecia. They live in the equatorial jungles South America, eating the fruits and leaves of the trees in which they live.

Deep in the rainforests of eastern Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana and northeastern Brazil north of the Amazon, these monkeys are diurnal and arboreal, rarely coming to the ground.

10. GELBER KUGELFISCH

The Gelber Kugelfisch is one of almost 190 species of puffers (Tetraodontidae). They live among equatorial coral reefs around the world. Related to the deadly fugu, this fish can also kill you if you are foolish enough to try to eat it.
