Disappearing Act

Some frogs use camouflage to avoid predators. The patterns and colors of a frog's skin, and sometimes the shape of its body, can help it blend into its surroundings.

To better understand how animals use camouflage, try the
classic Disappearing Act (99K) interactive exhibit.

  This exhibit requires that you have the Shockwave plug-in. Please visit our help page for more information.
