Camouflage is nature’s magic trick. It can hide something in plain sight. Animals use it to hunt or stay safe. An owl’s spotted feathers blend into tree bark. An Arctic fox changes its fur, from brown in summer to white in winter. Zebra stripes help confuse lions. A stick insect can look just like a twig, while the orchid mantis appears as a beautiful, blooming flower. Some, like the hummingbird moth, look like a different species. It doesn’t just look like a hummingbird, it moves like one, too!
