Attenborough's Life in Colour
Hiding in Colour
Season 1 Episode 2 of 2
David Attenborough reveals the extraordinary ways that some animals use colour to hide and disappear into the background. The Bengal tigers of central India use their striped patterns to dazzle colour blind prey, while zebras on the Masai Mara use motion dazzle to confuse predators. Other animals use colour to trick and to deceive. On Australia's Great Barrier Reef, a blue-striped blenny uses colours to mimic other fish and launch a sudden attack
