I went to the beach with my family earlier today. While we were walking, a lady pointed to my kids that there was a seal lying on the rock sunbathing. It took us a while to spot it, and would probably have completely missed it if the lady didn't point it out to us, because the seal was completely camouflaged. Interesting how animals develop natural camouflages to avoid predators. The genes that help survival gets passed on and the ones that don't help survival gets eaten. Evolution is indeed a very powerful force, especially over a long enough time period.
Can you spot the seal?
Sure can, but I would have missed it if I didn't know it was there. Did it move at all while your family was looking at it?

It would move its head and tail slightly from time to time, but it was mostly lying there just chilling. Not afraid of the passerby at all (although everyone kept a reasonable distance).

Very cool
