ANIMALS IN CAMOUFLAGE

Can you spot them? Incredible photographs of camouflage animals show nature’s ability to blend in with its surroundings.

New images show the lengths some camouflage animals go to so they blend in with their natural surroundings 

The creatures often try to disguise themselves and stay hidden as they constantly struggle to survive in the wild 

Even under the close-up lens of a camera, some of the animals can barely be recognised against the backdrop
