What does the word "camouflage" mean? Why do animals use camouflage? How does thepoison dart frog use color? How is it different from the cryptic frog?

"Camouflage" means the way that the color or shape of an animal or plant appears to mix with its natural environment to prevent it from being seen and attacked. Camouflage, also called cryptic coloration, is a defense mechanism or tactic that organisms use to disguise their appearance, usually to blend in with their surroundings. Organisms use camouflage to mask their location, identity, and movement. This allows prey to avoid predators, and for predators to sneak up on prey. Like the cryptic frog, it uses color to blend in with its environment, where it lives to protect them from predators. But the poison dart frog is different, it uses color as a sign of danger. Because its skin has poison, it can kill predators with a single drop of its poison. it uses color to warn predators to stay away
