To defend themselves from the fierce enemy, many animals have possessed an extremely delicate and ingenious masquerade instinct. Without eyesight, you can hardly recognize the animal that is in front of your eyes.
Wildlife photographer, teacher Alex Hyde of the University of Nottingham (UK) has spent many years studying science to uncover the veil of the mysterious world that creatures are hiding.He hoped to give people a deeper look at animals that had to rely on camouflage to survive.

northeast Madagascar
Alex Hyde has infiltrated the rainforest and caught a camouflaged spider
a tree waiting for prey to pass
According to Alex, the important thing to capture these animals is to know where they are located
time of day and under different conditions. In the picture is a toad
lying in the middle of dry leaves
"This gecko perfectly mimics the trunk that it is parking
color but also the pattern on the skin. Without camouflage, they are easy
swallowed or unable to transmit genes for the next generation "
The war survives more and more when the forests of Madagascar are being cut down because of the department
possessed precious species.
More than half of Madagascar's forests have been lost in the past 50-60 years. The area
Protected accounts for less than 2% of the area and the remaining forest is also in danger
