Hidden in the Wild (Amazing Animals That Disguise To Survive)

Camouflage has long captured our imaginations—from the Arctic fox disappearing into snowy tundra to the leafy sea dragon drifting unnoticed among swaying seaweed. This big, beautiful book celebrates nature’s true masters of disguise from habitats around the globe.

Turn the pages and set off on an adventure through snow, deserts, jungles, grasslands, rivers and seas, and towering mountains. Along the way, you’ll meet incredible animals like the ghostly snowy owl, the perfectly patterned leopard, the shape-shifting mimic octopus and the almost invisible spider-tailed horned viper. Look closely—there’s often more than meets the eye.

Each chapter explores a different habitat, introducing the animals that live there with stunning, immersive illustrations. Discover how a ptarmigan blends into rocky slopes, how a wobbegong shark vanishes against the ocean floor, and how a horned lizard melts into desert sand. At the end of every chapter, a special “in-action” section challenges you to spot the camouflaged creatures hidden in their surroundings.

Featuring 30 remarkable animals—from polar bears and cheetahs to golden moles—this book is a perfect gift for curious readers and animal lovers aged 7+.
