I love finding examples of camouflage which is used by both predators and their prey to hide from one another. In recent posts, we saw how a species used mimicry.

Most of us are familiar with concealing coloration when an animal matches its background, but this is an example of disruptive coloration. The striped pattern makes it difficult to identify the animal’s outline because it blends with similar markings on the decaying log. Zebras, tigers, and cheetahs also use this type of camouflage.
