🦎 Why do some animals have camouflage?

Some animals have special colors or patterns on their bodies to hide from other animals! 🦎 It's like playing hide-and-seek in nature. Some animals hide to stay safe from predators (animals that want to eat them), and others hide to sneak up on their food! 🌿

For example, a chameleon can change its color to blend in with trees or leaves. Isn't that cool?

Camouflage helps animals survive in the wild! 🦎 Some animals use it to hide from predators, while others use it to hunt without being seen. There are different types of camouflage:

• Color matching: Like a chameleon blending into leaves.
• Patterns: Stripes on a tiger help it hide in tall grass.
• Shape disguise: Some insects look like sticks or leaves!

Nature is full of clever tricks to stay safe or catch food!

Camouflage is an amazing survival strategy in the animal kingdom! 🦎 It evolved over millions of years to help animals avoid predators or ambush prey. There are several scientific types of camouflage:

• Background matching: Animals blend into their surroundings (e.g., octopuses changing skin texture).
• Disruptive coloration: Patterns (like zebra stripes) break up an animal's outline.
• Mimicry: Some harmless species imitate dangerous ones (e.g., hoverflies resembling bees).

Camouflage isn’t just about color—it can involve behavior too, like freezing in place or moving slowly.
