STRANGE SEA ANIMALS

How sea animals use camouflage to hide

Do you know that some animals are camouflaged? This means their color is the same as the colors around them. Some camouflaged animals hide in seaweed, rocks, and sand.

Look at the photo on the left. This looks like seaweed, but it’s not! It’s the leafy seadragon. It hides in the seaweed. Its the same color as the seaweed. Like the seaweed, its body is also in the shape of a leaf.

Look at the photo below. This is a stonefish. It hides on the sand, near rocks. It looks like a rock. Where are its eyes and its mouth?
