Camouflage



Camouflage is a method of hiding by making an animal look like its natural surroundings. In nature animals need every advantage they can get to survive. It is use to hide from predators and pray. Some animals blend in with their environment some change their camouflage to adapt to their surroundings. Some animals do not hide at all, they trick predictors by looking like something dangerous or uninteresting.
Many animals and even some plants use camouflage as a way to protect themselves. Animals hide their babies in tall grassy areas or in areas that have the same background cover as the animal. Even farm animals camouflage themselves to hide from predators. A cow will often hide her baby in some tall grass or bushes while she grazes, to protect it from a hungry coyote.

These are the sights that i used to gather my information: http://ellerbruch.nmu.edu/classes/cs255w03/cs255students/nsovey/P6/P6.html, http://www.longhorn-cattle.com/camo.html,
