Animals have a way of touching the soft spot in your heart and when they also have red hair, it’s a double whammy. We put together photos from our followers’ submissions as well as other beautiful ‘ginger’ animals. Here are 9 gorgeous creatures who prove they can Rock it like a Redhead too!
1. “This is my trainer’s mare Gina. Our hair is the same color and she definitely has the personality of a redhead! She’s a spitfire and is always the one in charge. But, she’s also a huge girly girl and loves being brushed and having her hair done.” -K. Genzmer
This is the most adorable thing we’ve ever heard.
2. Orangutans, commonly found in Asia, are known for their vibrant hair. In Australia, they use the nickname ‘ranga’, short for orangutan, to refer to people with red hair.
