Crazy Patterns
Help! Aliens! Some animals have such crazy patterns that you might think they’re from another planet. But these patterns are part of a clever plan! Striped fish, for example, are almost invisible among the reeds. Other animals like to cheat. Even though they’re harmless, they have a bold pattern that says: “Stay away! I’m super poisonous!”
