Camouflage is a natural phenomenon used by plants and animals to blend into their environment. Predators and prey alike use camouflage to avoid detection.
During this phenomenon, prey may change their skin colour or disguise themselves as per their surrounding colour so that other predators cannot detect them. Predators, such as the Stone Flounder, a flatfish, lay still on the ocean floor, buried under the sand, waiting for its prey. Leaf insects and stick insects also show Camouflage to avoid their predators.
Leaf insects and stick insects have shapes and colours to match their surroundings to avoid predators.
