SynopsisIs that a flower on the tree, or is it a toco toucan? Sometimes it's hard to tell. The toco toucan's bright colors can be mistaken for a flower growing on a tree, allowing the animal to blend in with its surroundings. Hungry animals fly right by the camouflaged creature, missing out on a tasty meal. Look inside to learn more about the ways these masters of disguise live and stay safe-but keep a close eye on them. If you don't, they might disappear right before your eyes. Book jacket., Toco toucans have a surprising way of protecting themselves from predators. These birds have multicolored feathers and big, reddish-orange beaks that should make them easy to spot--or so you would think. The brilliant colors actually provide the perfect camouflage among the bright foliage of the tropical rain forest. The toucans can stay safe by hiding in plain sight! Packed with fascinating facts and photos that will test children's detective skills, this book will engage emergent readers as they learn how toco toucans are adapted for survival. A section of the book highlights other rain-forest birds that are camouflaged to look like the plants in their environment.
