Blacktip sharks use a form of camouflage known as countershading, where their dorsal (top) side is darker, while their ventral (bottom) side is lighter. This coloration helps them blend into the ocean when viewed from above, making them less visible to predators and prey alike. Additionally, their ability to remain still among the sandy ocean floor or near reefs enhances their disguise, allowing them to ambush prey effectively.
