Camouflaged Animals
multiple choice

Camouflage Definition - Multiple Choice Comprehension Quiz

Answer 8 multiple-choice questions on the definition of camouflage; a lesson in using a dictionary. Go to the answers.
Many animals match their environment in color and/or pattern. This helps them escape predators (or hunt more efficiently) by being hard to spot. This type of coloration is called camouflaged or cryptic coloration.

For example, many animals that live in snowy areas are white (like the polar bear), many animals that live in deserts are sand-colored (like the Fennec fox), many animals that live in trees are green (like the emerald tree boa), many animals that live on rocks match the coloration of the rocks, and many animals that live near the soil are soil-colored. Patterns, like stripes or spots, can also help camouflage an animal.

A few animals are shaped like twigs (e.g., the walkingstick), leaves (e.g., the Australian leafwing butterfly), or even bird droppings (e.g., the caterpillars of many butterflies, including the viceroy and the red-spotted purple butterfly).

Some animals are not naturally camouflaged, but are helped out by other organisms (for example, the sloth lets green algae grow on its fur, helping hide the sloth among the tree leaves).
