Over time animals have developed many ways to stay away from predators. |

A predator is an animal that hunts and eats other animals. |
| [00:10.88] |
Hiding is one of the best ways to stay alive. |
| [00:14.56] |
Some animals hide by looking like the places where they live. |
| [00:19.13] |
To see how this works, let's look at the sea dragon. |
| [00:23.04] |
It is a master of disguise. |
| [00:25.43] |
The sea dragon is covered with skin that looks like leaves. |
| [00:29.90] |
The skin helps the dragon look like a piece of seaweed. |

A hungry meat eater would stay away from anything that looks like seaweed. |

Other animals stay safe by showing their colors. |
| [00:43.92] |
They want other animals to see them. |
| [00:46.66] |
Scientists call these bright colors -- warning colors. |

You have probably seen animals that have warning colors. |

Some grasshoppers show off their own bright colors. |
| [00:58.47] |
