12 Animals That Are Masters of Camouflage

Wolf Spider

  • Class: Spiders
  • Order: Araneae
  • Family: Lycosidae
  • Habitat: Worldwide (apart from polar regions)
  • Camouflage: Mimesis

Almost identical to the tree bark! The varied light and dark patterns on the body and legs of the wolf spider are perfectly suited to its habitat. But don’t be scared when you walk through the woods: this spider isn’t aggressive and their venom isn’t strong enough to cause any serious damage to humans. But their bites can hurt and the wound might swell up.

Trick: Disguises itself as tree bark
