Animals use various methods to camouflage themselves in their environments. Some of the common techniques include color matching, disruptive coloration, and mimicry. Color matching involves animals having similar colors and patterns to their surroundings, making them blend in. Disruptive coloration involves breaking up an animal's outline with patterns, making it harder to spot. Mimicry involves resembling another object or organism in the environment to avoid detection. These techniques help animals avoid predators or sneak up on prey effectively.
