Animals have various defense mechanisms to protect themselves from predators. Some use bright colors to warn others of their toxicity, like the monarch butterfly. Others, like the frilled neck lizard, use physical adaptations to appear larger and more threatening. Camouflage is another common strategy, with animals like the gray tree frog and stick insects blending into their surroundings. Some animals, such as porcupines and turtles, have hard outer shells or quills that act as armor. These diverse strategies help animals survive in the wild.
