AMAZING CAMOUFLAGE
Added on: 21st Jan 2016
DEAD LEAF BUTTERFLY
When it folds its wings, you would have a hard time distinguishing
this butterfly from a dead, crumpled leaf.
COMMON BARON CATERPILLAR
Feeding mostly on mangos, these caterpillars are often
considered pests.
AFRICAN SCOPS OWL
This sub-Saharan owl is difficult to spot due to its small size,
camouflage, and odd behaviour.
CUTTLEFISH
Despite the name, cuttlefish are not actually fish. They are molluscs
and smart ones at that. Studies have shown that their brain
to body ratio is very high among invertebrates.
CHAMELEON
Chameleons don’t just change colour to blend in, they
do it to communicate as well.
MIMIC OCTOPUS
This Indo-Pacific octopus is a master at mimicking and
imitating other animals.
SCAPHIOPHRYNE SPINOSA
Endemic to Madagascar, this frog is threatened by habitat loss.
EGYPTIAN NIGHTJAR
At night the Egyptian nightjar lies silent on the ground,
concealed by its plumage.
