Discover nature’s most colourful creatures in a major new book on colour in the animal kingdom.
For many animals
use of colour is essential to surviving in the wild
. Both a built-in defence mechanism and a cunning tactic for attack, this biological advantage helps animals
hide from dangerous predators
and
catch unsuspecting prey
. It is used in many different ways, primarily to mask one’s identity, movement or location, and changes over time as animals evolve and adapt to live.
This
stunning photographic collection
reveals 100 creatures from around the world paired with fascinating insights from
leading UK zoology author Steve Parker
. Each animal will have a profile of 300 words paired with striking photographic examples featuring a wealth of colour and ingenious uses of colour for display or disguise.
Learn how:
The octopus
can change its opacity, colour and pattern in response to threats.
The walking leaf insect
has evolved a strikingly similar shape and colour to the leaves it eats.
The arctic fox
changes its fur colour to white in the winter, perfectly blending in with the snow – but climate change is disrupting this age-old adaptation.
This study of some of the
most innovative uses of colour
by animals, packed with
beautiful photography and fascinating insights
, will delight all lovers of the natural world.
