| 520 | |a We have heard the phrase "master of disguise" right from childhood. While we disguise or camouflage our "emotions" or "scars", plants and animals camouflage themselves for protection. This book is a concise presentation of camouflage encompassing the plant, animal, and human worlds. Plants were initially considered defenseless and senseless creatures. However, certain examples of mottled leaves called disruptive coloration prevent easy recognition by color blind herbivores. This book is a concise presentation of camouflage encompassing the plant, animal, and human worlds. Plants were initially considered defenseless and senseless creatures. However, certain examples of mottled leaves called disruptive coloration prevent easy recognition by color blind herbivores. Similarly, several examples of camouflage in the animal kingdom have been discussed to gain a snapshot of this interesting aspect of biology. | ||
