Deceptive camouflage is a survival strategy used by various animals to blend into their surroundings, making it difficult for predators or prey to spot them. This adaptation can involve colors, patterns, and textures that mimic the environment, such as leaves, bark, or rocks. For example, the stick insect resembles twigs, while the chameleon can change its color to match different backgrounds. In addition to visual camouflage, some species employ other tactics, like movement or behavior, to enhance their disguise. The octopus can not only change its color but also alter its skin texture to resemble coral or sand. These adaptations help animals avoid detection and increase their chances of survival.
