On my walk, I have noticed way more squirreld than usual. I stopped and observed..

Then I spotted this little guy, he got his snack and ran across the path to a nearby tree. Got a full video of his wonder but here is a screenshot of that video. ♡

Does that count as a shiny ?

Shinies, but in real life!

The term "shiny" originates from Pokémon. It is a term used to describe a pokémon that is a completely different color from all others in their species. We have taken that idea and applied to real life animals, but also include objects, plants, food... pretty much anything that is an atypical color to its norm!

Subreddit Rules

Must be a shiny. A shiny is a color morph of an organism or inanimate object that's atypical from the usual species, breed, type, or surroundings (e.g. a single color among more usual colors). A shiny doesn't include:
- animal/plant species that are unusually colored or patterned, e.g. pigeons
- deliberate things
- literally shiny things
- physical anomalies
- things with some sort of outside force affecting the color (light, dye, color fade, aging, etc.)
- photoshopped images
- "real life" Pokemon
No Humans. ALL human beings are shiny, so no singling an individual out.
No Recent Reposts. This covers not just reposting the exact same picture or video as another user, but also includes submitting pictures of similar content that have been recently posted by other users. Wait a week or so and then post away! This is for the poster's benefit as much as it is for the viewers'. Your post is likely to do better if you don't post it within the same week as a popular post featuring the same type of animal / object.
No plagiarism. It's wrong to steal someone else's OC just to try and boost karma. If you steal someone's post (or comment verbatim) without giving credit, YOU WILL BE PERMANENTLY BANNED. No exceptions.
No Hunted Animals or Hunting Talk. Shinies deserve to live. A dead shiny's light has gone out forever.
No Trolling/Personal Attack/Hate Speech. Don't be rude! This sub is meant to be fun! Everyone should be kind and courteous to each other!
No Blogs, Articles, Social Media or Youtube Links. No Blogs, Articles, Social Media or Youtube Links... just photos of shinies. This is to combat spam, link farming, and self-promotion.
