CAMOUFLAGE
Some animals are protected by their
body structures and appearances,
which are extremely adaptable to
their habitat. Camouflage features
Allah bestowed upon those animals
are so harmonious with their
habitat that when you look at their
pictures, you cannot tell whether
they are plants or animals.
Sometimes you cannot distinguish
the animal from its surroundings.
The camouflage is so effective and
deft that it is obvious that this is a
specially designed and "created"
defence mechanism.
IS IT A DRY LEAF OR A BUTTERFLY?
At first glance, perceived as dry leaves, these pictures (above and below) actually are of
butterflies. The leaf-like wings, which have many details on them - vessels to rotten parts
and intonations of colour - provide an excellent protection for the butterflies.
It is indeed impossible to overlook this incredible resemblance between the butterfly and
the leaf (even the vessels and dried parts of the leaf are not omitted) and call it "chance".
Is it not equally nonsense to accept that the butterfly made itself "leaf-like"?
