Detailed explanation-1: -Camouflage, also called cryptic coloration, is a defense or tactic that organisms use to disguise their appearance, usually to blend in with their surroundings. Organisms use camouflage to mask their location, identity, and movement. This allows prey to avoid predators, and for predators to sneak up on prey.

Detailed explanation-2: -Camouflage in animals can be reckoned as a structural adaptation as it allows it some changes in its external body to survive better in the environment around them. It helps them not to get detected by their predators and also as an aid in their hunting for prey.

Detailed explanation-3: -Camouflage is an adaptation that helps an organism blend in with its surroundings. Blending in helps the animal avoid predators and increases its ability to survive.

Detailed explanation-4: -Moreover, irregular and regular patterns located on different body regions (“bimodal” patterning) can provide an effective compromise between camouflage and communication and/or enhanced concealment via both static and motion camouflage.
