Camouflage is a way that animals blend in with their surroundings to hide from predators.
Some animals have patterns on their fur or skin that make them look like the plants or rocks around them.
Other animals can change their colour to match their surroundings.
The animals were camouflaged so well that they were almost impossible to spot.
Noun:
