Ocean Animals coloring page

 This is my free coloring pages blog. I have drawn over 3000 coloring pages for you to print and color.

Today's new drawing is of Ocean Animals.

Ocean Animals

This is a simple drawing of a few animals that live in the ocean. This drawing includes animals from several classes. The setting is supposed to be off the west coast of North America, like off the Baja Peninsula of Mexico. Below is a list of the animals. See if you can find them on the coloring page.

Sea horses by some kelp. Kelp is actually not a plant nor is it an animal either. Kelp is in Class: Protista.  Sea horses are not invertebrates. They are actually a type of bony fish. There are some other bony fish in the drawing as well. 

The sea anemone LOOKS like a plant, but they are a type of animal.

Clownfish live in or near sea anemone.

Marine worms or sea worms live on beaches and underwater in the ocean. Beach-dwelling worms are also called sandworms, albeit not the size of the enormous desert sandworms in Dune. 

There are a couple of types of coral in this coloring page. Coral is not a rock, nor is it an animal. Coral is a type of marine animal. By the way, one of the corals is brain coral. Do you see which one?

Starfish are seen in this drawing. Starfish or sea stars are members of Class: Asteroidea. That is a cool name. The starfish live on the sea floor.

There is also a clam, a sand dollar, a sea urchin, and a crab on the sea floor in this drawing. You will need to look up the class of animal for each of them if you do the Classification activity. That acticity will be posted tomorrow. 

There is a dolphin and a whale. They are NOT fish. Do you know what class they are in? Here is a hint: they both nurse their young with milk.  The whale is a sperm whale, and it is actually blurry because it is far in the distance. Sperm whales are actually huge and can reach a length of up to 68 feet, or around 20+ meters. 

The shark is not a bony fish. Sharks have cartilage for bones. When ancient sharks died, the only thing we find is their teeth. Look up what class sharks are in. 

There is a mushy translucent dome-shaped invertebrate called a Portuguese Man-O-War that swims or floats in the sea. It has tentacles that can sting you badly. Can you figure out which animal I am talking about?

The birds include a laughing gull. They have a black head. There is also a diving Blue-footed Boobie.  Boobies dive bomb to catch fish that are visible from up high in the air. There are other birds far in the distance.  

The only type of large reptile that survived the dinosaur extinction was sea turtles. 

There are three types of swimming animals with tentacles in this drawing. They are in the same class. They are the octopus, the squid, and the nautoloid. A nautilus looks like the now extinct ammonite. 

NOTE: This drawing will be part of a Science Classification activity. For now, it is a sea life or ocean life coloring page. It can be found in printable form by clicking on the "Animals" button. Then scroll down to the end of the list. IF you are accessing this site in February or March 2026, then you will find the title of this drawing at or near the bottom of the Animals list. 

Ugly Duckling discovers He's a Swan

This is my free coloring pages blog. 

Today's new drawing is part of a set of animal drawings.

THIS is what it would look like for the Ugly Duckling to discover that he was a swan. These are still animals in a  North American river, pond, or lake.  

Ugly Duckling discovers He's a Swan

I love this story. For some reason, an over-large egg winds up in a duck's nest. The egg hatches, and the "duckling" looks different from the other ducklings. He is rejected and persecuted because he looks different. To the ducks, different is ugly. Yet when the "duckling" matures after a long, lonely year, he discovers that he is actually a beautiful swan. 

I love the song from the old movie, Hans Christian Anderson.  Look it up on YouTube. It's a great song! Like the story, it shows that someone who starts out seemingly inferior or different and seemingly ugly can grow into an exceptional or beautiful being. 

Since this will be part of the Classification Science activity, here is the list of animals to look for:

swans, ducks, fish, butterfly, dragonfly, bee, grebe, and a mammal. Do you spot the mammal? 

NOTE: This drawing will be used in a science activity. For now, it is just a coloring page of beautiful swans on a pond or lake. This drawing, in printable form, can be found by clicking on the button labeled "Birds" and then scrolling down to the bottom of the list of bird drawings. IF you are accessing this site in February or March 2026, then the title will be at or near the bottom of the list of "Bird" drawings. 

Desert Iguana & other North American Desert Animals

 You have found my free coloring pages blog.

Today, the new coloring page is one I drew of a Desert Iguana.

Desert Iguana and other North American Desert Animals

The desert iguana is a species of lizard found in North America, primarily in the Southwest portion of the USA and the Northwest portion of Mexico. They are about 13-14 inches or 33-36 cm. Some large adults grow to 16 or so inches. That is around 40 cm long. They are omnivorous but mostly eat plants. They also sometimes eat insects or carrion. They really rely on the creosote bush for food and even burrow underneath the bush. 

This drawing includes a roadrunner, a tarantula, two ants, a crustacean called a pillbug, a scorpion, a diamondback rattlesnake, flying birds that are probably vultures or some other bird of prey, and a cottontail rabbit.

Bull Elk and a few other Rocky Mountain Animals

This is my free coloring pages blog.

Today's new drawing that I did for you is of a bull elk on an overlook.

This picture is one of 4 that will be part of a Science Animal Classification project. 

For today, it is a coloring page, albeit a pretty nice coloring page. 

Bull Elk and a few other Rocky Mountain Animals

A full-grown bull elk can weigh over 1100 lbs. or almost 500 kg. They are actually a large type of deer. They are known for a powerful bugle call that is a type of mating call. Bull elk also spar or joust with other males for the right to mate with the harem or the females of the herd. 

See if you can spot the other types of animals in this coloring page. There are 7 other species of animals in the drawing. They are: a mouse, a rabbit, a lizard, a butterfly, and 3 birds of prey. Look at the river to spot the seventh animal type or species.

Knight on Horseback and a She-Elf in Armor

 

This is my free coloring pages blog.

I have drawn well over 3000 coloring pages for you to print and color!

Today's new coloring page is Sir Josh, a knight on his horse.

Sir Joshua on his Steed Captain

Sir Joshua is seen here on an overview of a mountain valley. His noble steed is named Captain. The horse is standing in deep grass on a mountain overlook.  This is a rather dangerous place for a horse. But it is not quite as dangerous as you might think because the grass is very deep and the edge of the cliff has a bit of a lip. Still, it is fairly dangerous, but Captain is a national treasure in his country. Josh, as his friends and family call him, knows how to guide this extremely intelligent horse in dangerous places like this. Sir Joshua is on the lookout for orcs, goblins, dragons, or mountain trolls. 

Can you tell which "bird" in the distance is actually probably a dragon? When Sir Joshua turns around, then he will be able to tell which flying animal is actually a dragon.

Tiffania the She-Elf Warrior

Tiffania is a She-Elf warrior. Yes, she IS very beautiful - like nearly all elves. But she is also both deadly when necessary. That means when she is in combat with orcs, goblins and\or  trolls. However, Tiffania is also a kind wife and mother. She knows that true beauty is in far more than the physical. Sir Joshua knows this as well. 

Interesting that Tiffania chose marriage to a mortal, namely, to Sir Joshua. Sometimes they go on patrol together and sometimes individually. Often one stays home to take care of their children. Tiffany gave up her Elven immortality to marry Joshua. Tiffany is like Arwen, who said something to the effect: 

    "I would rather spend a lifetime with you, rather than an eternity without you."

I should add that in our belief, we DO get to spend an eternity with our spouse if we are both worthy. I also want to remind you that coloring pages can not capture the full physical beauty of people or Elves or Faries... but I try my best.

Happy Valentine's Day 2026

 

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

Sauropod Valentine 2026

Tulip Butterfly Fairy on a Cloudy Day

 You have found my free coloring page blog. 

Or maybe you are a returning fan. 

Today's new drawing is of a type of Flower Fairy who is also a Butterfly Fairy.

Tulip Butterfly Fairy on a Clouy Day

This is a type of Flower Fairy. She is also a type of Butterfly Fairy. Her name is, appropriately, Tulipia. She is seen here with three butterflies. She has wings similar to these butterflies. They are called Papilia rey butterflies. (I admit that I made that up. But they ARE similar to a viceroy or monarch butterfly.)

Tulipia is leaeding some butterflies on a cloudy day, so she has ignited a magic lamplight on the end of her wand. This allows the butterflies to see the tulips they are seeking. Yes, butterflies DO help pollinate tulips. Notice that the shadows indicate that the wand is the primary light source on this cloudy day.
