Unbelievable Defence Mechanism! From Snake to Insects, Forest Officer's Viral Twitter Thread Shows Creatures' Incredible Camouflage (See Pics & Video)
Camouflage is an interesting ability of forest animals that helps them disguise themselves from predators, while other organisms use it for hunting prey. A viral Twitter thread will give a glimpse of how different creatures in the wild use this defence mechanism.
Indian Forest Service officer Parven Kaswan's viral Twitter thread will show the unseen and breathtaking glimpse of nature and its creatures. The pictures and video show how critters use a primarily defensive camouflage strategy to protect themselves from danger. It's their usual defence mechanism. In a viral video from the post, an insect perfectly camouflaged itself in a wood stick. One can hardly distinguish between the stick and the little creature. The post also has a Rufous woodpecker, a snake and other exciting creatures showing their spectacular techniques for survival.

Can You Spot A Slithering Reptile?
Look at this snake which is just like a stick. Clicked by me on a random walk on forest floor. This snake is called as Mock Viper. Mildly venomous. See how good it is in camouflaging. pic.twitter.com/oUE4SSVP4c

Intriguing!
This is Common mime pupa. It just looks like a wooden piece. At this stage the creature has no defense system from birds & other insects, so it rely on deception. It camouflages & stays low. It pays, soon the pupa will become a beautiful & colorful butterfly. pic.twitter.com/QOTooV8UKM
