Finding a mole in your backyard is not that uncommon. The chances of finding an albino mole are very slim -1:100,000.

We are used to seeing animals with identical color patterns. With humans, it is different.

Because we have so many races, hair colors, and skin tones, we are used to diversity. Animals are different.

To us, every member of a species looks the same. And they are.

The differences are minute and hard to spot by an untrained eye. There's something fundamentally attractive about the outliers.

When we grow custom to one color pattern on things or animals, seeing a different one makes our brain explode. And it is hard to keep your eyes away.

If you enjoy strange color combinations and anything out of the ordinary, the "Real Life Shinies" is the place to be. This subreddit has 247k people who all gathered for one thing only – enjoying those weird and surprising color patterns.

From wild animals and pets to street signs and architecture, these shinies will change your perspective of the color of things we know very well, or rather, we think we know. Let's make our heads spin a little, and then a little more.

We have chosen 50 of the most interesting posts, and we know you will love them.

Nature is wonderful, and it is all about diversity. There are so many beautiful things around.

This subreddit was created in 2016, and it started off as a simple comment. But thanks to people’s love for diversity, it soon took off and became a full-blown subreddit.

We wish it continues to grow and celebrate diversity.
