Question on: JAMB Biology - 2001

The correct answer is **cryptic colouration**. * **Cryptic colouration** is a camouflage strategy where an animal's coloration blends with its environment, making it difficult to see. A green snake in green grass perfectly exemplifies this. * **Disruptive colouration** uses patterns to break up an animal's outline, making it harder to recognize. * **Counter shading** is a form of camouflage where the upper side of an animal is darker and the underside is lighter. * **Warning colouration** (also called aposematism) is the opposite; it uses bright colors to advertise to predators that the animal is toxic or dangerous.
