STRANGE BUT TRUE! 65

Secretive spider
Europe’s green
huntsman spider is the
perfect shade to merge
with nearby foliage.
The arachnid can move
virtually unseen by both
predators and prey.

Armed attacker
This vivid inhabitant
of Australia’s Great
Barrier Reef resembles
part of the coral, but is
actually a stonefish.
With toxic spines
ready, it waits to
ambush passing prey.

Adaptable amphibian
The African red toad
spends its days hiding
under logs or on dead
leaves, using its colors
and patterned skin to keep
safe, while nights are spent
searching out insects.
