Camouflage means obscuring or hiding things to deceive an enemy. Many animals and insects have very elaborate ways to camouflage themselves. The American Bittern has a rather simple but effective camouflage. When threatened, they raise their head so their bill and striped chest look like reeds in a marsh. If you don’t spot them before they hide you will likely not see them at all.
