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: -Solution : Some species of insects and frogs are cryptically coloured (camouflaged) to avoid being detected easily by the predator.
Detailed explanation-3: -In ecology, crypsis is the ability of an animal or a plant to avoid observation or detection by other animals. It may be a predation strategy or an antipredator adaptation. Methods include camouflage, nocturnality, subterranean lifestyle and mimicry.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
