Camouflage is a way animals hide by blending in with their surroundings.
A snowshoe hare’s fur is brown in summer and white in winter, so it matches the ground. A stick insect looks so much like a twig that birds fly right past it. An octopus can change its skin color and texture in less than a second.
Camouflage helps prey animals hide from predators. But predators use it too: a tiger’s stripes help it sneak up on animals in tall grass.
