13. Countershaded Ibex are almost invisible in the Israeli desert. Camouflage allows predator to capture prey

14. “If red touches yellow, you're a dead fellow (for Coral Snakes); if red touches black, you're okay, Jack (for similar looking Milk Snakes)". Coral Snake (poisonous) The Milk snake “mimics” the coral snake to trick predators into thinking it’s poisonous. Continue Bright colors warn others that they are poisonous and should be left alone!!

15.  Animals may also try to look like another animals.  For example, non poisonous snakes will rattle their tale and flatten their head to look poisonous to a predator.  This is called Mimicry, where an animal tries to mimic or copy another. Which snake is venomous?

16.  Another example of mimicry involves the monarch butterfly, which is toxic and very nasty to eat.Its bright orange coloration is a warning to birds to leave it alone. The non-toxic viceroy butterfly has developed colors and wing patterns that are very similar to those of the monarch and so most birds won’t take a chance by taste-testing it!

49.  One of the strangest plants of the desert, the night-blooming cereus, is a member of the cactus family that resembles nothing more than a dead bush most of the year. It is rarely seen in the wild because of its inconspicuousness. But for one midsummer's night each year, its exquisitely scented flower opens as night falls, then closes forever with the first rays of the morning sun. Goal: pollination
