"Nature red in tooth and claw", said Alfred Lord
Tennyson. For, out there in the vast and unforgiving expanses of the wild, life
is simply currency to be circulated amongst its participants. Yet, the natural
order does not always entail the ultimate triumph of size, speed and muscle
power. In fact, over the billion years of Earth's evolution, it is the the
smaller creatures that have somehow managed to scrape through and survive,
while the gigantic and magnificent are often interred and ultimately converted
into fossil fuel, ironically, to power modern human ambitions. One of the
techniques that have held the following often overlooked survivors and hunters
in good stead is the ability to become one with its surroundings. The
fascinating and often deadly trick of camouflage is one of Nature's most
perfect genetic ornamentations, and these 20 creatures have mastered the art.
