Detailed explanation-1: -Camouflage, also called cryptic coloration, is a defense or tactic that organisms use to blend in with their surroundings. Background matching is perhaps the most common camouflage tactic. The feathers on this eastern screech owl, for instance, almost perfectly match the bark on trees it sits in.

Detailed explanation-2: -Many animals have stripes or spots that help them to blend together when in groups. This makes it difficult for a predator to detect just one of these animals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chameleons, of which almost half of all species live in Madagascar, are masters of animal camouflage. The name of this lizard is nearly synonymous with animal camouflage as its ability to change the color and pattern of its skin is nearly unrivaled.
