From frogs to fish and bugs to birds this collection of images, from a whole host of photographers all over the world, shows the animal kingdoms outstanding ability to blend into the background.


For humans the power to be invisible is something many of us can only dream of, but for a whole host of animals, camouflage is the best tool they have in the constant struggle to survive.


Animals use two basic methods of concealment in a bid to hide from predators and catch prey.


These are general resemblance and special resemblance. With general resemblance animals use colour to blend in with their background until they are almost invisible.

This method is most commonly associated with chameleons but other creatures including spiders and the Hymenopus Coronatus – also known as the Orchid Mantis – adopt this tactic when hiding and hunting.


Special resemblance sees creatures use a mixture of shape, colour, texture and behaviour to make them appear like something else in their habitat such as a leaf or a twig.


Take a look at these photographs and see if you can spot the hidden creatures in each one.


Some are harder than you might think.

Hayden Panettiere
Size: 8
Age: 18
Height: 5ft 1in
Weight: 8st

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
