This week is our full day camp called Incredible Creature Features! Campers will learn about all types of animals and how they survive in their different environments. Today we learned about how some animals camouflage themselves in order to keep themselves safe from becoming a predator’s prey. Most animals that rely on camouflage to hide from predators or sneak up on prey are also very stealthy.  That is, when they perceive that something might be looking for them, they remain very still and quiet. That’s because most animals have a hard time picking out something that is the same color as the environment it’s hiding in, but most animals are very good at seeing movement.

Can you spot the camouflage creature in this picture?

Be on the look out in your backyard for some camouflage creatures…you never know when you will spot one!
