Animals use camouflage for survival by blending in with their surroundings to avoid detection by predators or prey. This can help them remain hidden, making it easier to sneak up on prey, or it can help them avoid being detected by predators. Some animals have coloration or patterns that match their habitat, such as a polar bear blending in with the snow or a leaf insect resembling a leaf. Camouflage is an important adaptation that allows animals to increase their chances of survival in their environment.
