paragraph above, prove with all their detailed features that they are 'creat-
ed'. If woodpeckers had evolved coincidentally as the theory of evolution
claims, they would have died before they acquired such extraordinarily
consistent traits and they would be extinct. However, as they were creat-
ed by Allah with a special 'design' adapted to their life, they started their
lives by bearing all the vital characteristics.

Camouflage
One of the defence strategies of animals is camouflage. Some animals
have the special protection of a body structure and coloration which are
totally adapted to their habitat. The bodies of these living beings are so
harmonious with their environment that when you look at their pictures,
you cannot tell if they are plants or animals, or distinguish them from their
surroundings.
As will be seen in the following pages, the incredible similarity of an
insect to a leaf helps it escape the notice of its enemies. It is obvious that
this tiny animal has not made its body look like a leaf. Maybe it is not even
aware that it is being protected because it looks like a leaf. However, the
camouflage is so deft that it readily impinges as a defence tactic planned
specially and 'created'.

The snake that camouflages itself in the sand hides from its enemies. Is it possible that
this snake made its skin’s colour and pattern fully harmonise with its habitat?
