Life in leaf

Leaves make good hiding places . some animals hide there to catch prey by surprise. Others eat the leaves and do not want to be seen by predators.

Leafy looks

 the body, legs and head of this wandering leaf insect are shaped just like the leaves it eat.

Dead ringer

The leaf-tailed gecko scuttles about the forest floor. Its body shape and colour make it look like dead leaves.

Life on the river bed

The Surinam toad blends in perfectly with the leaves that blanket the river bed, where it lives. It hides, camouflaged, waiting for passing prey.

Lacy lichen

Lichen katydids live in tropical cloud forests. They merge almost seamlessly with the lichen plants that grow there. The feathery leaves of the plant match the lacy pattern on the katydids body.
