Not all animals are equipped with weaponry to ward off predators. Sometimes, the best way to avoid
being eaten is to make yourself invisible. Today, we will countdown the top 10 animals with the best
camouflage. Number one is a no brainer, but still watch out for it.

Number 10. The Chameleon
Chameleons are by far the most popular camouflagers, if that’s even a word, out there. They are the
master of disguise, able to blend into any background — no matter how complex or colorful —
whenever they need to escape danger. But there is a very particular reason why it only occupies number
10 on this list; chameleons don’t change color to camouflage themselves. There you go, your childhood
ruined.
Of course, it is true that chameleons, lacking defenses like a dangerous bite or poisonous skin, aren’t
very well protected against predators, so staying hidden does help them survive, but they don’t need to
change their colors to do that. When relaxed, they are usually shades of brown, grey, or green, which is
already perfect for blending into the background of thei8r natural habitat.
Instead, the bright color-changing abilities we know them for are less about protecting the chameleons
from danger and more about communication. Bright colors help chameleons communicate how they are
feeling, kind of like that mood ring that you wore in middle school was supposed to broadcast how you
were feeling. In other words, if a chameleon is angry or fearful, its colors tend to darken, but if it is trying
to establish dominance, its colors will brighten.

Number 9. The Devil Scorpionfish
The Devil Scorpionfish is also known as the False Stonefish. It is a rather ugly unpleasant looking fish and
its species name of diabolus which roughly means devil in Latin, is derived from its rather frightening
looks. Their coloration is extremely variable and they take on the colors and textures of their
surroundings. The skin is warty and full of small flaps. As they are immobile most of the time, algae and
other organisms tend to grow on them adding to their camouflage. As with all members of the
scorpionfish family, they have poison glands for protection in their dorsal and pelvic fins.
They will initially rely on their camouflage when approached by a diver. Provided that they do not feel
threatened they will sit dead still. If they feel threatened they will open up their pectoral fins which are
brightly colored in an attempt to warn the diver off. If that does not work they will hop away a few feet
using their pectoral fins. Their poison is not as powerful as that of the Stonefish and is unlikely to kill a
human. Instead one is likely to have extreme pain, nausea and the area affected will go white.
Obviously, they are quite hard to spot out in the wild, making it easy for someone to step on them, with
disastrous consequences. Ironically, they are easier to spot at night, due to their eyes reflecting light,
hence, they are relegated to the number 9 spot on this list.

Number 8. The Dead Leaf Butterfly
This incredible butterfly can be found – if you look hard enough – from India to Japan; anywhere in the
Asian tropics. Its taxonomic name is Kallima inachus but it is also known as the orange oakleaf or Indian
oakleaf. Unsurprisingly, its most common name is the dead leaf butterfly. This disguise is intended to
confound predators – you can’t eat what you can’t see. The brilliance of the dead leaf butterfly’s
disguise is the fact that it hasn’t just nailed the coloring of a dead leaf, it’s got the shape, the midrib, and
even the veins figured out, and it all comes together so perfectly
Yet just wait and see what appears once it opens its wings. When its wings are open, it reveals a
luminous color pattern that can hold its own against the world’s prettiest wings. Unfortunately, due to
the dual nature of its wings, its camouflage is only good enough to land it on the 8 th spot on this list.

Number 7. The Common Baron Caterpillar
If you're a hungry bird in western Malaysia, good luck finding any common baron caterpillars. Plenty of
other butterfly larvae blend in with local plants, but few can vanish into vegetation like the baron.
Baron caterpillars evolved their elaborate shapes and colors for that single purpose: hiding from
predators.
