OverviewSeeing may be believing, but in nature not everything you see is always what it seems. From cryptic concealments to masquerades and flashy warnings, countless organisms utilise disguises to gain an advantage in their never-ending bid for survival. These remarkable adaptations, crafted by the uncompromising paintbrush of natural selection, have resulted in some of the most extravagantly detailed outfits. In Nature’s Tricks, we journey through the amazing strategies of animals and plants around the world to discover how disguises and deception are used in the natural world. The book is divided into four main chapters: Defensive Camouflage, Hunting Camouflage, Mimicry, and Warning Displays. Many species presented in this book face threats to their continuing survival in the wild, and each description is accompanied by a generalised conservation indicator.
