1. Both predators and prey animals use camouflage to their advantage.
Prey animals blend in with the background, so hungry predators pass right by them.

I like this one. π

2. But predators use camouflage too.
The striated frogfish (Antennarius striatus) walks the seafloor right up to its unsuspecting prey.
It has a prognathous mouth that launches an attack on prey in as fast as 6 milliseconds.

5. This one is amazing. Watch until the end.
This is a stargazer, its eyes are on top of its head.
They bury themselves in the sand, using their spotted camouflage to disappear among the textured bottom.

On birds: These are European Golden Plover eggs in the nest.
For not moving as camouflage stay with me on this thread.
