Plenty of creatures employ camouflage, but just a few of them have made it an art form. In nature, every advantage increases an animal’s chances of survival by adapting themselves perfectly to their environment. When stopped, they are perfectly hidden, well enough to miss them! Each animal adopts a tailor-made camouflage pattern for the particular micro-habitat that it settles in.
Many animal’s bold coloration is actually a very effective camouflage in their native habitats. Below are some of the best animal photography, that will show us how animals blend in with their environment so that others might overlook them. We’ll look at a few sophisticated hiders who can change their camouflage in accordance with a change in their surroundings.

Leafy Sea Dragon
The leafy sea dragon has evolved an uncanny resemblance to the seaweed and kelp found in Australian coastal waters. The animals also mimic leafy weeds by drifting along with ocean currents, snacking on sea lice or tiny crustaceans. Male sea dragons bear young, like their relatives the sea horses, carrying eggs underneath their tails for four to six weeks.

These are quite some camouflages. Good for these animals that the hunters who managed to uncover them were just taking a photo.

Amazing collection, with such variety. Unquestionably my favorite is the pygmy seahorse which camouflages in a color not found everywhere. I also like both the giraffe and elephant, because we don’t often think of them as camouflage - most photos show them on the grassy plains.
