Animals – on the contrary of what humans do – wear their masks for all their lives. Some of them camouflage themselves to hide from predators, other to surprise their preys. Some of them wear a mask to scare their natural enemies, other ones to fascinate and seduce their partners.
Some innocuous species, thanks to their camouflage technique, are able to trick other animals by pretending to be dangerous.
There is no limit to nature’s fantasy: the morphologies and the chromatic games of the animal kingdom are so many and so different that scientists haven’t been able to define and explain a large parte of this kaleidoscope of shapes and colors yet.
