← Nature & AnimalsWhich foraging outcome favors highly contrasted disruptive camouflage?
A)Reduced predation in open terrain
B)Enhanced crypsis in uniform habitats
C)Improved ambush predation on edges✓
D)Optimized pursuit in dense foliage
💡 Explanation
Ambush predators benefit more from disruptive camouflage, where high contrast breaks up the body outline, offering visual segmentation. Therefore, these contrasts aid in hiding on edges, rather than in uniform or open environments, because they disrupt pattern recognition against complex backgrounds.
