Think you’re good at hide and seek? Then think again, because as you can see from this list compiled by Bored Panda, these wild animals are the absolute champions when it comes to going undetected. You’ll never be able to beat these animals’ camouflage! It’s the simple fact that they have the biological advantage of blending in, also called mimicry, and this allows these smart animals to disappear into their environment to avoid being eaten by predators.
Caterpillars that resemble leaves and geckos the color of bark to spiders that look like sand and stick insects that look like, well, sticks – aren’t they truly amazing animals? These camouflage masters will confound and amaze you…but only if you can spot the animal mimicry virtuosos!
