Hiding in Colour

Summary In this second episode, David explores how animals use colour to hide, and disappear into the background when they need to camouflage. Along the way, he looks at Bengal tigers in the Indian sub-continent, and at how zebras confuse potential predators in Masai Mara by literally 'dazzling' them. He also sees how the chicks of the pin-tailed whydah imitate the patterns of their siblings to ensue they're not seen as an unwanted imposter to the nest.
