Animals are camouflage experts.....a basic survival requirement to blend with the habitat...for escaping predators or mauling the preys....like these critters below..
Tree squirrel in Zion..
Baby ground squirrel...
A pair of mergansers...
Oriole on a Century plant...
Humming on scrub oak...
Humming on a bare pear tree...
Sparrows in grassland...
Gull on a pebble-covered beach...
Gull on sandy shore...
Another gull blending with the wet sand...
Crab in tide pool...
Song sparrow foraging among the mulch....
This red-shouldered hawk is visiting our apartment..despite its attempt to camouflage, I could spot him :)
A mourning dove.......
Aposematism or warning coloration is an antipredator adaptations where the prey displays brilliant color to convey the message that its distasteful and should be avoided for predation......
