Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In a seek-and-find extravaganza, stylish illustrations and a brisk text unmask twelve of the most elusive creatures on earth.
Now you see them, now you don't. Cloaked in a riot of color, pattern, and texture are a dozen animals--from chameleons and polar bears to Gaboon vipers and mimic octopuses--that have mastered the art of fading into the background. Fact-packed pages segue into clever and beautifully illustrated seek-and-find spreads that put readers' newfound knowledge of each creature and its ecosystem to the test. In a timely and visually arresting novelty book for nature lovers of every stripe, Marc Martin jets budding conservationists around the world to artfully expose the secrets of animal camouflage.

What do panther chameleons, polar bears, and Gaboon vipers all have in common? They are masters at disguising themselves in their environments. Featuring twelve different animals found around the globe, from African leopards to mimic octopuses, these pages reveal how each creature manages to blend into its habitat and the advantages its camouflaging abilities provide. Put your newly acquired knowledge to the test as you try to find the masters themselves in seek-and-find activities throughout the book.
