Wild Ones Season 1 Episode 9 Camouflage 2014
Chameleon: The worlds most famous master of disguise, the resplendent chameleon is more than just an ever changing face. Able to change not only their colour but also their patterns the pink, blue, red, green, orange, black, yellow, turquoise and purple chameleons that we visit use these colour changes to communicate, letting others know their mood, their intention and their sexual state. Sea dragon: Leafy sea dragons flutter through the ocean, their tiny yellow-green bodies adorned with delicate leaf-shaped appendages. They are a true delight to behold as your eyes distinguish them from the seaweed and kelp formations where they make their home. Death adder: Blending perfectly between rocks and leaf litter the brown-grey bands of the sturdy death adder render it almost invisible to the passer by. The bright lure of its tail twitches by its head, tempting in small mammals to the hidden snake. When the meal passes by, the hidden snake strikes. Stonefish: The prince of camouflage in the underwater world, Stonefish have warty slimy skin covered in mud and algae. Even when looking right at them its hard to see – until the strange looking rock moves! But this is not a rock to be stepped on – stonefish have 13 highly venomous spines along their back.
