Question on: JAMB Biology - 2024
An example of organism that exhibits counter-shading to escape from its predator is
Counter-shading is a camouflage strategy where an animal's body is dark on the top and light on the bottom. This helps the animal blend in with its environment, making it harder for predators to spot. Fish often exhibit this feature.* A. grasshopper: Grasshoppers use camouflage (e.g., green color to blend in with plants) but not counter-shading.* B. toad: Toads also rely on camouflage for protection, but not counter-shading.* C. fish: Fish often display counter-shading. From above, their dark backs blend with the darker ocean depths, and from below, their light bellies blend with the brighter surface.* D. chameleon: Chameleons are known for their ability to change color to blend with their surroundings, but it's not directly counter-shading.
