看你能找到多小?

Can you spot the predator? Masters of disguise blend into the background to survive kill-or-be-killed world


At first glimpse these pictures may look like nothing out of the ordinary - appearing to just show an ordinary leaf or a branch of a tree.

But on closer inspection you can spot some of nature's true masters of disguise playing a killer game of hide and seek.

From a katydid disguised as a leaf to a tiny Pygmy Seahorse camouflaged in sea fan in Papua New Guinea, these images showcase the creatures who can quite literally blend into the background.


Nothing out of the ordinary: A Leaf mimic katydid is an uncanny addition to a group of leaves, left, and a Lichen-mimic katydid is barely noticeable camouflaged on tree


Illusionist: A leaf-mimic katydid - also known as a bush-cricket - camouflaged to look like a dead leaf to hide itself from predators


Masters of disguise: An Oak beauty caterpillar branching out, left, and a Hooded mantis hiding among leaves in a Costa Rican tropical rainforest


arking up the wrong tree: A common potoo - a nocturnal bird which breeds in tropical Central and South America - blending into the bark on a tree branch


Hiding in the deep: A tiny Pygmy Seahorse, which only grow up to 2cms, pictured at 130 feet below sea level on a sea fan in Papua New Guinea


Making no mark: Another leaf mimic katydid shows off its incredible camouflaging skills by mimicking the leaf it is standing on

The talented animals have the ability to camouflage themselves within their environment to hide from predators as a means of survival in the natural world.

The creatures photographed in this series of images use two basic methods of concealment in a bid to hide from predators and catch prey.

Some animals, such as the flat fish, use their colour to blend into a background making them barely visible.

Whereas others, such as the Katydid, cleverly mimic their surroundings using their shape, colour and texture to become part of the landscape.

Photographer John Cancalosi who captured these images of camouflage animals said the animals used their talent to remain hidden from predators.

Creepy crawler: A well camouflaged large huntsman spider, which uses its venom to paralyse its prey, but is thought to not be particularly dangerous to healthy humans


Lying in wait: The eyes of a flatfish peering up from its seafloor are the only thing that reveals its hiding place


Keeping a keen eye: John Cancalosi, who took this snap of a tiny red crab camouflaged on a Sea Fan in Papua New Guinea, said even he sometimes struggles to spot the creatures he photographs


In the eye of the beholder: A Lantern fly - a Central and South American planthopper - captured in a defensive display by photographer John Cancalosi

He said some had mastered the art of invisible so well it was a challenge for him to even spot them.

He said: 'Katydids look so much like leaves in their colour, detail and texture, it actually looks like the leaves are copying the katydids.

'They are so used to pretending to be leaves they have the ability to remain completely still.

'There are also caterpillars who are such good leaf mimics when the wind blows they'll move themselves so as to appear like dead leaves blowing in the wind. It really is quite amazing to witness.'

Where's Wanda?: A triplefin fish, found around the coast of New Zealand at depths of about 15m, swimming by tunicates to blend in


The invisible shrimp: A transparent anemone shrimp, found in many coral reefs around the world, hidden in an anemone


A prickly pink customer: A well-camouflaged majid crab crawling across a soft pink coral


Blending in: A small shrimp surrounded by the stinging tentacles of a sea anemone which feed on small fish and shrimp


Undercover creature: A Leaf mimic katydid camouflaged to look like leaf for defence from predators


Impressive disguise: A grasshopper camouflaged like a dead leaf is almost completely unrecognisable

如果遇到有毒性或攻擊性同時又識偽裝術嘅動物或昆蟲,真係有D麻煩,避冇可避

The disguises were so incredible!

amazing!
保護色的昆虫還蠻常見的; 樹色的雀鳥還是第一次看到耶!
作者: mhyung    時間: 2012-12-5 09:36 AM

這是非常有趣。它們的形狀和顏色幾乎可以糊弄我。每一個畫面需要觀察一段時間才能找到他們。我很愚蠢嗎?

It's amazing for all those creatures having such talent to make themselves blending into their immediate surrounding environments.
It's also amazing for the photographer having his talent not only to spot them, but also took such beautiful photos of them as well.
Thanks for sharing, vandas!

人也要學學動物,溶入環境,和保護自己。

仔細看照片而言~
牠們若不是被足部出賣~
相信真的很難發現~~
但在現實裏~~
這種偽裝本領~
真的無懈可擊!

自然界「偽裝大師」的生存之道(組圖)
據英國每日郵報報道,最初觀看這些照片時會感覺它們並沒有特殊之處,僅是普通的樹葉或者樹枝而已。但是近距離觀測,你將發現照片中有自然界的一些“偽裝大師”,這些動物巧妙地利用身體和自然環境的獨特之處,作為掠食性殺手或避難者完全溶入自然環境之中。

從一隻蟈蟈蟲偽裝成一片樹葉,以及巴布亞新幾內亞海域一隻微型侏儒海馬偽裝成扇珊瑚,這些照片呈現出了自然界美妙的“偽裝大師”。它們有能力將自己偽裝起來溶入所在環境,避免掠食者的捕殺倖存在自然環境中。

例如比目魚等一些動物,它們使用體色溶入背景環境,讓其它生物無法探查到它們的存在。而另一些動物,例如蟈蟈蟲基於身體外形、顏色和紋理,偽裝成自然環境的一部分。

攝影師約翰-坎卡羅西拍攝到這些偽裝動物照片,聲稱這些動物使用它們的才能避開了掠食者的搜尋,有時它們隱藏着非常好,就連他也很難發現。

蟈蟈蟲的體色和紋理等身體狀況看上去非常像一片樹葉,此外毛毛蟲也能很好地偽裝成樹葉,甚至當風吹時它們會模擬枯葉在風中飄蕩,令掠食者無法辨識真假。

一隻杜鵑偽裝成樹皮


在巴布亞新幾內亞海域一隻紅色螃蟹偽裝成扇珊瑚


僅有2厘米長的侏儒海馬隱藏在130英尺深海底,與扇珊瑚溶為一體


一隻善於偽裝的蜘蛛蟹爬行在軟體粉紅珊瑚


隱藏在珊瑚礁上的一隻透明銀蓮花蝦


這是一個體形較大的獵手蜘蛛,它使用液麻痹獵物,但不會對人體構成威脅


一隻蟈蟈蟲偽裝成一片枯葉,避免掠食者的攻擊


一隻小蝦隱藏在海葵觸鬚之中


這是中南美洲的一隻蠟蟬


一隻蟈蟈蟲偽裝成樹皮上的苔蘚,很難分辨出它的存在

這個就是自然界的本能了
弱肉強食
不會偽裝自己
唯有被人吃掉
