Ecology
Animal world never ceases to amaze. Everywhere you look there are creatures with the most amazing natural or acquired mechanisms. Both large and small organisms can make your mouth open in surprise. The living creatures that are presented here have ingenious abilities to imitate their environment for the purpose of camouflage. They copy the appearance of leaves, branches, flowers and even algae. Truly, simply unique animals!
1) Ghost Mantis
It's not clear if this is a dry leaf or Living being? Most people will answer that it is a leaf, even if they notice that it is moving. The only representative of the genus Phyllocrania, this species of mantis lives in Africa. They are small in size and reach a length of no more than 5 centimeters. These insects are very reminiscent of fallen leaves, and of completely different colors. They can be brown, and of different shades, green or gray. On average, ghost mantises live for 2 years.
2) Torpedo Beetle
Nicknamed the “torpedo beetle,” these insects are scientifically called Siphanta acuta. They feed on plants, live in trees and camouflage themselves under foliage. When they rest, green wings cover the body, folding into a “house”. The beetles reach a length of no more than 15 millimeters. They received the name “torpedo beetle” due to the fact that their larvae can jump to a height of more than half a meter. They are native to Australia, although they can now be found in Hawaii and New Zealand. Some have even seen them in California.
3) Stick insect
As their name suggests, these creatures disguise themselves as small tree branches. Most of all they resemble eucalyptus branches and it is no coincidence, because eucalyptus is the main source of food for these unusual creatures. They have a long, thin body and can also fly. Stick insects grow up to 18 centimeters in length. Mainly found in Australia, they prefer to live near water, although they are also common in woodland areas of New South Wales and Victoria.
4) Rag picker
This "seahorse" is very reminiscent of sea vegetation. Upon closer inspection, you will notice that this is not algae at all, but a fish, which is a close relative of seahorses. Underwater, these creatures resemble the leaves of sea plants. Their leaf-like body parts are not actually used to move underwater. These accessories help to camouflage with the environment. They are helped to swim by transparent fins, which are difficult to see, so the rag picker is less like an animal and more like a plant, the appearance of which it is trying to imitate.
5) Devil's Flower Mantis
This is another type of mantis that camouflages itself as plants. The insect has bright colors and is sometimes called the “King of Mantises” due to its beautiful and unusual appearance. It is easy to confuse it with a flower or leaf if the insect sits on plants. Lives in northern Africa and the Canary Islands.
6) Sea dragon-algae
Another relative of the seahorse and the rag-picker, the seaweed dragon cannot boast of the same amazing appearance as, for example, the rag-picker, but it also looks very funny. This fish species Phyllopteryx taeniolatus easily hides among seaweed thanks to its leaves-like shoots. The homeland of this species is South coast Australia, it can be found in waters at depths from 3 to 50 meters. When a fish moves in shallow water, it can easily be confused with a broken piece of algae.
7) Satanic leaf-tailed gecko
These geckos are primarily found on the island of Madagascar and have received several interesting nicknames. Some call this creature the eyelash leaf-tailed gecko, others call it the fantastic leaf-tailed gecko. The last name was given due to the amazing, almost fantastic appearance of this creature. This gecko has an absolutely flat tail that resembles a leaf, the body itself also resembles dry foliage, so it costs him nothing to hide in anticipation of prey, as well as to hide from enemies.
8) Monkfish
One of the groups of fish that is famous for its ability to imitate, monkfish are experts in underwater camouflage. Thanks to such an inconspicuous appearance, it easily catches prey and hides from predators. Some species of this group imitate stones or corals, others turn into ascidians or sponges. Some of them can imitate other underwater creatures, e.g. sea urchins, others disguise themselves as rocks covered with algae. Without this kind of careful camouflage, monkfish would be too vulnerable, so they adapted to hide from enemies with the help of their strange appearance.
9) Scorpio Fish
This creature can also disguise itself as fallen leaves. Only underwater. They use this camouflage to remain undetected by prey. The fish hide between the corals near the bottom, resembling plants. Their movements are smooth, driven by underwater currents. The victims of these creatures, unaware of anything, swim closer to the fish, thinking that they are plants. The cunning scorpion fish immediately grabs the unfortunate victim.
10) Eastern snake-necked turtle
These turtles have a long neck, which protrudes far from the shell in order to look around. They live in Australia, mainly in fresh water swamps, ponds and lakes. In fact, they do not exactly imitate plants, but allow algae to grow on their shells, so the shell resembles a rock with vegetation. This appearance allows the turtle to camouflage well.
