For this entertaining and educational coloring book, nature artist Ruth Soffer has accurately rendered 28 animals that use camouflage and mimicry to hide and protect themselves from predators. Among the species pictured here in detailed, ready-to-color illustrations are the Coral Sea octopus, which changes color and creates bumps on its skin to take on the coloring and texture of the rocks and reefs in its watery surroundings; the walking stick-a-long, wingless insect that looks uncannily like a twig; the palm viper of Costa Rica, perfectly camouflaged among a palm tree?'is, pipefish, spiny leaf-tailed gecko, snow grouse, and other fascinating creatures that have evolved over millions of years to blend in with their surroundings in order to survive.
Dover Original. 28 black-and-white illustrations. 11 color illustrations on covers. Introduction. Captions. 32pp. 8 3/4" x 11", Saddlewired, January 2002.
