9 Real-Life Creatures That Are Definitely Pokémon

3. Blue Bird Of Paradise

BBC

Oh come on, this is basically a cartoon made flesh and feather.

The blue bird of paradise, is so beautiful and so, well, odd, that even the usually stoic wikipedia has a tendency to wax lyrical about it, calling it "the loveliest of all birds" and positively gushing about its courtship display which, to the uninitiated, looks like a lot of titting about, but the good writers of wikipedia assure us is in fact "breathtaking".

Despite the fact that this dance looks to us like some kind of emoji-inspired rave-scape, the experts assure us that the lady-birds just can't get enough of it.
