How and why does the animal has the ability on camofulge?
Animals have the ability of camouflage to protect them from predators. Camouflage is achieved when an animal looks similar to its surroundings. For example, an insect may appear to be a stick, or a moth may have a pigment pattern that makes it look like part of a tree. Animals can also have camouflage if they look like other species. One species of butterfly looks almost exactly like another species of poisonous butterfly. Predators think it is poisonous, so they tend not to eat it. Many studies have been done regarding exactly how animals develop camouflage, pertaining to evolution. In one study, researchers studied a group of mice with coats varying from white to dark gray. When the rocks of their habitat were lighter, the white mice survived to pass on their genes because they were able to avoid predators--mostly hawks--that could not see them against the light rocks. After several generations, the mouse population was mostly white in color. Other examples abound, but the point is that animals develop camouflage dependent on the habitat in which they live. The camouflage allows them to avoid predators, living long enough to reproduce.
