Camouflage • Have you ever
wondered why animals have spots, strips, or certain colors?
• Sometimes an animal’s colors can be a difference between life and death.
• Animals use their colors to blend into the environment.
• What is this called?

• What is an adaptation?
• An adaptation is something that helps animals survive better.

Mimicry• Animals may also try to
look like another animals.
• For example, non poisonous snakes will rattle their tale and flatten their head to look poisonous to a predator.
• This is called Mimicry, where an animal tries to mimic or copy another.
Which snake is poisonous?

Other forms of mimicry…• Another example of
mimicry involves the monarch butterfly, which is toxic and very nasty to eat.Its bright orange coloration is a warning to birds to leave it alone. The non-toxic viceroy butterfly has developed colors and wing patterns that are very similar to those of the monarch and so most birds won’t take a chance by taste-testing it!
