10 Fantastic Animals That Use Bark Camouflage

in Animal facts

When you’re high up in the food chain, nature can be truly awesome. You can stroll around and contemplate its hidden beauties, all without fear of getting eaten. Not all beings are as lucky as us humans, though. To survive, many animals have learned to adapt defense mechanisms, but most often than not the best way to avoid getting killed is not to fight, nor fly, but hide. This is where camouflage comes in.

There are many types of camouflage that animals employ. There’s concealing coloration (white rabbits in the snow), mimicry (when they try to look like other more dangerous animals), disruptive coloration (spots, stripes, other patterns – see zebras, leopards) and disguise (blending with the surrounding to look like an object). Below you’ll be amazed to find 10 animals that employ this latter form of camouflage, all of which use tree barks as their target object. Were you able to see
