Dazzle Coloration And Prey Movement
Such 'dazzle markings' were once employed in the military, but it has been unknown whether markings on animals may achieve such an effect.
Using a computer 'game', where human 'predators' captured computer generated prey moving across a background, we find that some conspicuous patterns, such as bands and zig-zags, similar to those found in a range of real animals such as snakes and fish, make the capture of moving prey challenging.
