Most mammals are covered in fur, most birds in feathers. Thus, if the blood rushes to the animal's skin as a result of effort, anger, embarrassment or pain, it should be covered from view, though if an animal has light-colored, thin fur or feathers, something of the skin tone may still be visible. Some creatures are inorganic, and have no blood with which to blush. However, a remarkable phenomenon takes place in the world of animated beings. There, if a [[EverythingsWorseWithBears bear]] burns or drops a hammer on its paw, or a [[MorallyAmbiguousDucktorate duck]] is bilked of a million-dollar prize, or a [[OurGryphonsAreDifferent griffin]] is caught in the shower without a towel on -- or even if a [[AnthropomorphicObjects factory whistle]] is just blowing too strenuously -- the creature will turn bright red -- flesh, fur, or feathers included. This phenomenon is usually restricted to the face, but will on some occasions spread over the whole body.

* The ''{{Redwall}}'' critters are constantly turning red from rage, green from seasickness, white with fury or fright, and pink with pleasure. They also have some very impressive tattoos, which apparently permanently colour the fur as well and don't grow out.
