What is camouflage?

What is camouflage? This animation describes how animals can use camouflage to 'hide' or 'seek' in their environment. Grandad Charlie, an elderly tortoise, is playing hide and seek with his grandson Sam. He tells Sam a story about some animals who took part in the world hide and seek contest. The seeker was Clouded Leopard and the finalists were Chameleon, Moon Moth, Flying Gecko and Stick Insect. Flying Gecko was caught first in mid-air. Chameleon was caught using his tongue to catch a fly on Snow Leopard's head. Moon Moth flew to the moon and was caught. Stick Insect hid among the twigs and won the contest.
