Fascinating Fact:

Warning colours in nature often look bright, like yellow and black stripes. These colours can tell other animals “do not eat me”.

In this Scouts UK quiz, Squirrel Scouts explore how colour works in the natural world. You look at camouflage, patterns, and how colours can send messages, like “I’m dangerous” or “I’m ready to mate”.

Key Terms

Camouflage: Colours or patterns that help an animal blend in so it is harder to spot.
Pattern: A repeated shape or design, like stripes, spots, or zigzags on an animal.
Habitat: The natural place an animal or plant lives, such as woodland, pond, or meadow.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is camouflage for kids?

Camouflage is when an animal’s colours or patterns help it blend into its surroundings. This can help it hide from predators or sneak up on food.

Why do some animals have bright colours?

Some animals use bright colours to warn predators that they might be poisonous or taste nasty. Bright colours can also help animals attract a mate.

What are examples of patterns in nature?

Examples include tiger stripes, leopard spots, butterfly wing patterns, and zebra stripes. Patterns can help with hiding, warning, or confusing predators.
