Physical or behavioral adaptations that allow an organism to blend with its surroundings to avoid detection.
Detailed Explanation
Camouflage operates through background matching, disruptive coloration, and masquerade (resembling an inedible object). The peppered moth's shift from pale to dark forms during industrial Britain's soot-blackened era is a textbook natural selection example. Cephalopods like cuttlefish can change color and texture within milliseconds using chromatophores — the most sophisticated active camouflage system known in animals.
