Have you ever noticed that some animals are black on top and white underneath? This special color pattern helps them hide from other animals. Here’s how it works:
- Black on Top: When an animal has a black or dark back, it blends in with the darker ground or water if someone looks down at it. This helps the animal stay hidden from birds or other predators above.
- White on the Belly: On the other side, the white belly helps the animal blend in with the bright sky or light if someone looks up at it from below, like fish or animals in the water.
This way, the animal stays safe by hiding from both above and below. It’s a clever trick called camouflage that helps animals stay out of trouble!
