Evolution is an amazing thing - humans developed brains that focus on critical thinking, memory, and communal values in order to survive, whereas other animals developed something more unique - camouflage. The ability to hide in plain sight is an incredible thing when you don't have the means to build a shelter to protect yourself. We're consistently amazed by how cool camouflage is, and this post is dedicated to some pretty amazing animals you probably would never have seen, even if you walked right by them.
Some are born with unique patterns that look like a part of nature, whereas others have the ability to change the way they look based on their environment. You don't see them at all, but after you do, you think to yourself, "How could I have missed that?". That is the power of camouflage. Scroll down below and see if you can find all the animals in this post, we definitely couldn't!

This tiny little seahorse is so cute, and if it wasn't literally in the center of the photo, we might not have seen it. It looks nearly identical to the coral around it, and it's so cool to see that it adapted to look so similar to its surroundings.
This is 100% freaky! If we were walking by this tree in nature, we would not have seen this lizard at all. It's the same color of brown as the tree and we are amazed by this little guy's ability to hide in plain sight.
