CamouflageTo Eat, or NOT be eaten… …

...that is the question

There are four types of camouflage

• Concealing coloration – animal hides itself against a background of the same color

• Disruptive coloration – animal hides itself by breaking up its outline

• Disguise – animal blends in by looking like surroundings

• Mimicry - animals or insects look like other dangerous creatures
