Answer 1

Camouflaged Animals:

COLOR CHANGE
>>Reptiles and Amphibians (like frogs, toads,chameleon) and some fish can change the colors of their skin or scales to match a surface that's near them. Their coloration is determined by biochromes in living cells. Biochromes may be in cells at the skin's surface or in cells at deeper levels. These deeper-level cells are called chromatophores. Cuttlefish species, can manipulate their chromatophores to change their overall skin color. Chameleons can produce a wide range of colors and patterns on their skin, but they do this primarily to express mood, not to blend in with different environments.

>>Mammals (like deer, squirrels, or moles) have earth tones color to match trees or dirt.

>> Far north animals often have white fur or feathers in winter. When spring melts the snows, the white fur and feathers fall out. Pigments in the skin cells change. When new feathers and fur grow in, they match the new color or pattern of the landscape.

COUNTER SHADING
>> Mice, white-tailed dear, Canada geese, otters and largemouth bass use a kind of camouflage called counter-shading. These animals have bodies that are dark on top and light on the bottom.When sunlight shines on an animal's darker colors, it makes them look lighter. When the animal's lighter-colored parts are in shadow, it makes them look darker. The two areas of color blend together when seen from a distance. The animal's outline is harder to pick out from surrounding patterns.

ELEMENT OF DISGUISE
>>Insecta (like green katydid or grasshopper) - have a solid body color that matches the color of its environment. Many insects that feed on plants have solid green bodies during part or all of their lives

>>Many animals have distinctive designs on their bodies that serve to conceal them . These designs, which might be spots, stripes or a group of patches, can help the animal in a couple of ways.This disruptive coloration is particularly effective when animals in a species are grouped together. To a lion, a herd of zebras doesn't look like a whole bunch of individual animals, but more like a big, striped mass. The vertical stripes all seem to run together, making it hard for a lion to stalk and attack one specific zebra. The stripes may also help a single zebra hide in areas of tall grass. Since lions are colorblind, it doesn't matter that the zebra and surrounding environment are completely different colors.

>>Walking stick, an insect that looks like an ordinary twig. A predator can easily distinguish a walking stick from its surroundings, but the predator thinks its only a stick, and so ignores it.

IMITATION
>>Swallowtail butterflies and many insects often use a kind of camouflage called imitation. The shape of their bodies, along with their coloring, makes them look like other things.

MIMICRY
>>Viceroy butterfly and many harmless insects use mimicry.The monarch butterfly is a bad-tasting insect that most birds will not eat. The viceroy butterfly has a black-and-orange wing pattern that closely matches the monarch's. Birds who see a viceroy leave it alone, thinking it's a monarch. Many harmless insects look and fly like bees, insects which can really sting.♥

Answer 2

there are several animal in animal kingdom which can chemoflage by using special types of cells called chromatophores like chameleon, octopus, certain insects, few species of frogs and toads, etc

Answer 3

Firstly camouflage is the term used when an object is able to blend in with its surrounding by means of natural or unnatural.
It can work both ways, for the hunter and the hunted.

Unnatural camouflage refers to means of accessories of items added to make one/somthing blend with the surrounding, Eg a soldier wearing green uniform and face paint to allow him to blen with the greenery environment. Or a fighter plane painted to blend in with the sky. Or duck hunters wearing green and caps decorated with plants. Etc.

Natural camouflage refers to the self ability to blend in with the surrounding, by means of its appearance or shape. Eg, A chameleon has the ability to change colour to adapt to its surrounding, a tiger hidden behind a shrub is difficult to spot from a distance, its stripes blend in with the surrounding. A stick insects' shape and its poised movement / motion makes it difficult to spot while on a branch. A stingray is capable of 'burying' itself underneath the ocean surface to prevent from being spotted from its prey.

I hope my answer has enlightened your queries.

Cheers.
