Camouflage

White-tailed deer

On my walk around the park yesterday it was interesting to notice camouflage in the animal kingdom.

A white-tailed deer blended in nicely with its brown surroundings.

The female mallard pictured below was much more camouflaged than it's male counterparts to its right, or the larger Canada Goose.

The butterfly, lower left, was very well camouflaged, looking much like a leaf with its wings shut. However with wings open, not so much.
