  A blue animal would stand out too vividly and be a target in most areas.
The birds- having few predators- have again and again picked up on sexual
selection and run wild with it.  Thus the birds end up with fantastic and
useless (except to attract mates) plumages.  Flowers, again, want to attract
for sexual reasons, but bees mainly see in different wavelengths than we
humans- flowers would be even more spectacular if we could see as a bee.
However, I would bet money there are blue animals besides those in the
ocean, such as some snails, some lizards, and some amphibeans.
