We’ve always heard that being redheaded is a personality trait, and because it’s a hair color you don’t see often, redheads stand out wherever they go. However, it turns out that red-headedness also exists in the animal kingdom, both in familiar animals and those that are unknown and interesting. Check out these 18 beautiful and charming cute animals that will spice up your day with a little added color!

There are animals we all know, like the giraffe, whose spots look just like freckles.

Some animals boast bright orange colors, like this curious cow,

and others have fine freckled fur, like the young foal in front of you.

There are cunning, quick red animals, like the swift little squirrel,

and others slow and very calculated, like the orange owl.

Some orange animals are really tiny…

but discover independence and explore the world right from the start!

The red gene is hereditary in animals just as it is in humans.

and even redheads who don’t know each other find common ground easily!

Although some of these orange animals tend to get into serious trouble.

Their cuteness makes it hard to stay mad.

So, what do they all have in common, you might ask?

All of them without exception, bring a smile to our faces!

Whether they are always awake because time is money,

or whether they aren’t afraid to take some time out for a short nap.

Because at the end of a long, orange day, redheads get very tired.

And the best thing in the world is to slumber with another redhead,

or help each other fall asleep and dream orange dreams!
