Here is a Guest I met on 14-05-2016, who made me shocked for a while !<\/p>\n

It is exactly a dried stem! We can see the \u201cdried bark\u201d peeled from the main wood!<\/p>\n

It has nodes (bulged parts especially where the leaves are arranges in opposite manner) and internodes (slender long part between two nodes) like a stem or twig.<\/p>\n

It has some fungus or lichen like small projections, just like a dried stem!<\/p>\n

Its end look like a natural break, where the \u201cbark\u201d has peeled off, exposing the inner \u201cwood\u201d portion. Also was oriented to one side asymmetrically.<\/p>\n

It is a nearly Perfect Camouflage! Nobody can say it is not a dried stem!<\/p>\n

Following questions are important:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Which plant is the \u201cmodel\u201d for this camouflage? Is the model is really existing? ( Is it an \u201cimaginary\u201d plant or true one?<\/li>\n
  2. If yes, what is the relation of this creature with that plant?<\/li>\n
  3. How many generations it took to form this appearance? (Through the process of \u201cNatural Selection)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The purpose of this camouflage is to hide from it\u2019s natural enemies. Again, this creature selected a green surface to sit ! So it may \u201cthink\u201d that it will look more natural!<\/p>\n

    It knows itself as it pulls legs into the trunk of the body, to looks more like a stem!<\/p>\n

    WITHOUT A MIRROR, HOW IT BECAME AWARE OF OWN APPEARANCE?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Nature is a laboratory, where new unimaginative inventions and discoveries were happens every moment. Be a child to feel these wonders\u2026 to see the fruiting of sun and moon\u2026 to see the garden of stars in the dark night\u2026 to hear the symphony of crickets.. to hear the claps of a hill side stream\u2026 to smell the scent of a distant flower\u2026 to taste a fruit of a way-side bush\u2026 to feel the touch of a running air\u2026<\/p>\n

    Nature reveals itself to a child eye\u2026Not to an intelligent eye\u2026<\/p>\n

    See the world through child eyes\u2026!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
