13. Amazing Mimic: Leaf-tailed Gecko Looks just like a dead leaf Has leaf-like tail and mottled skin How does this help the gecko survive?

14. Master of Disguise: Octopus Can change color, pattern, and even skin texture Mimics other sea creatures and blends with surroundings What makes the octopus such a great disguise artist?

15. Camouflage in Action: Snowshoe Hare Changes fur color with the seasons Brown in summer, white in winter How does this help the hare survive different seasons?

16. Unusual Mimic: Anglerfish Has a special "fishing rod" with a glowing tip The lure looks like a small fish to attract prey How is this different from other examples we've seen?

17. Camouflage Challenge: Find the Animals! Can you spot the hidden animals in these pictures? Look closely at shapes, colors, and patterns Which animal do you think is the hardest to find?

18. Why Are Adaptations Important? Help animals survive in their environment Can protect them from predators Might help them catch food more easily What would happen if animals didn't have these adaptations?

19. How Do Animals Develop These Adaptations? Adaptations develop over many, many generations Animals that survive better pass on their traits This process is called evolution Can you think of other animal adaptations we haven't discussed?

20. Protecting Animal Habitats Animals need their natural habitats to use their adaptations We can help by protecting forests, oceans, and other wild places What are some ways you can help protect animal habitats?

21. Conclusion: Nature's Clever Tricks Mimicry and camouflage are amazing animal adaptations They show how animals have changed to suit their environments What was the most interesting thing you learned today?
