Another word for this type of defense is "crypsis" or "cryptic coloration." Cryptic coloration is especially common in small animals such as insects, lizards, snakes, and frogs. These animals are often the same color as the leaves or twigs on which they rest. Some insects even look like the twigs or leaves themselves.
Myschool pls make the proper corrections, Option B Counter shading is the possession of two distinct colours (dorsal and ventral) by some organisms to match the colour of their immediate environments such that when the organisms are viewed by their predators from above or below, they cannot be seen or noticed. Animals with such different colours are said to be counter shaded. In tilapia fish for example, the dark dorsal colour tends to blend with dark coloured water buttom and the silvery white ventral surface blends with the sky colour above them. This protects them from predators looking at them from above or below.
While Option D Cryptic colouration or camouflage is a concealing colouration which matches the colour of the background. Many animals are protected from their predators by the close matching of their body with their surrounding background. E. g Grasshoppers have green pigments in their cuticles. Green snakes also have green pigments in their skin. This green colouration makes it difficult for their enemies to recognise them within green grasses.
The ans z D....
The green snake is adapted to the environment, because it is nt..... it won't be able to escape notice and also a prey which is not adapted to the environment will be eaten by the predator. for instance, if a rabbit goes to the jungle, it will be eaten by a lion because the rabbit doesn't know we're to hide...
Myschool.com.ng Nelly it is a lie counters having is the possession of 2 color ventral and dorsal it is mostly seeing in fish cryptic is when a prey hides from it predator by blending with it environment so the answer is D
