1. Suppose an alien spaceship will land on earth next week.

After many light-years of travel through space, some friendly little green creatures decide to get out and stretch their legs on our planet.

What would they report home?

3. But:

Since the dawn of civilization, humanity has lost 83% of all wild mammals and half of all plants.

Prey animals blend in with the background, so hungry predators pass right by them.

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.
