Many animals hide(躲藏) to stay alive. They hide in many ways. Some animals hide in leaves; some animals hide in snow. Usually their colors or shapes(形状) help protect them.

Some chameleons can change colors in five minutes.
Many animals try to look bigger than they are to stay alive. Some animals can make other animals think they are very big. If they look very big, animals that are looking for food will run away. Bears can walk on two legs. They look very, very scary(可怕的). Some animals will run away from them.
Many animals try to stay around other animals. This helps them stay alive. Zebras stay close together so that they can help each other look out for danger. Seeing many stripes(条纹) at once can also confuse(使混乱) animals that want to eat them. Some birds stay in a circle, each toward a different direction.
