Animals use camouflage to avoid predators by blending in with their environment. This can involve having colors and patterns that match their surroundings, such as a moth that looks like a tree bark or a chameleon that can change its skin color to match its surroundings. Some animals also mimic the appearance of other species or objects to confuse predators. Camouflage helps animals to remain undetected, making it harder for predators to spot them.
