Do you know why different animals or pests have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be
used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫) , but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because
locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of' crops. When crops are green,
locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops
have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they
have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you'll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions
and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because
they have the colors much like the trees. They can often hide in the trees and catch some other little
animals.
Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of' fish in the sea can send out a kind of very
black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it. And it
immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.
