Best I've got is sloths. And they're only green because algae grows on them. And I know it sounds like cheating because they aren't intrinsically green but before you completely discount it there are animals that wouldn't be the color they are in a different environment. For instance, flamingos are only pink because of the seafood they eat. If fed a different diet they can be almost white.
Yeah fair. I had painted glass fish in my aquarium at one point and discovered the "paint" came from feeding them dyed food and eventually faded away when I gave them normal food back at home. They are naturally transparent for the most part which, frankly, I thought was cooler. I did have a gourami that was legit green though, as far as I could tell.
