When an animal can blend into its surroundings, it is able to avoid predator's. An arctic hare blends into the snow because of its white pelt, which helps it avoid an Arctic fox or polar bear.

If an animal is a dark colour in a cool environment, that will help it trap, absorb, and keep heat. The same is true with lighter colours and hotter environments, except the lighter colour reflects the heat, keeping it cooler.

A third way would be that if the animal is smaller, it can scare away the predator if it has bright enough colours. In the rainforest, a poison dart frog has bright colours that tell other animals to keep away. The bright colours can also attract mates!

I hope that helped!!
