A camouflaged animal is one that has physical features allowing it to blend into its environment. This adaptation helps them avoid predators or sneak up on prey. For example, the chameleon can change its color to match its surroundings, while the leaf-tailed gecko resembles leaves to hide from both predators and prey. Camouflage can take various forms, including coloration, patterns, and textures. Animals like the snowshoe hare change their fur color with the seasons, turning white in winter to blend in with snow. This ability to camouflage is crucial for survival in the wild.
