Can you recall playing hide-and-seek during your childhood days? It’s
such a fun game. I remember how often we scratch and cut our skin from
hiding in the bushes, how my heart thumps in fear that the seeker would
find me.
Looking at these pictures makes me think how clever these creatures are in trying to outsmart their predators.
These pictures show nature’s ‘disappearing act’ when enemies are near.
