The answer is…

Poison Dart Frog

Poison dart frogs DO NOT camouflage. In fact, they have very bright colors that make them stand out. This is helpful to us humans because these frogs are EXTREMELY poisonous. Since we can easily see them, we can easily stay away!

Camouflage is a characteristic that some animals have that allows them to stay safe. They blend in with their surroundings and their predators (animals that want to eat them) can’t find them.
