Summary:
Camouflage isn't just a type of clothing that hunters and soldiers wear to blend into natural surroundings. Animals have camouflage, too. Camouflage often relies on colors, but patterns help animals blend in, too. The leaf-tailed gecko uses the color and patterns on its body to conceal itself from predators. Its body mimics the leaves of the trees in which it lives. Many predators use camouflage to sneak up on their prey. This book explores the many different animals that employ camouflage and how this incredible adaptation has developed over time.
