Colors for survival

Our world is filled with remarkable examples of camouflage in nature. In page after page of stunning photographs, Colors for Survival captures the abilities of animals to mimic their environment and thus avoid detection by predators or prey. In many of the photographs, the creature-be it insect, fish, bird or mammal-blends so perfectly with the background on which it is resting that it is difficult to spot at first glance. Marco Ferrari's fascinating text explains the ways in which animals use color-for mimicry and camouflage, to warn their enemies, and to attract mates, this assuring the survival of the species. An exceptional book to share with children, Colors for Survival will inspire readers to explore the natural world.
