It can’t be a coincidence that almost all of them have red blood. Why can’t it be blue? Green? Purple?

One of the main purposes of blood is to transport oxygen across the body. This is done by having oxygen molecules stick to a substance called Haemoglobin. The Hämoglobin has a red color and make the blood red.

As many animals use Haemoglobin to transport oxygen like humans do, they all have red blood.
