I took this photo of a thorny devil near Uluru some years back. Such a beautiful but strange or scary looking reptile. This image was used in in the prep classroom as we looked at animals and their use of camouflage and features which deter predators.
These two photos depict the highly toxic blue-ringed octopus. One where it can be easily detected, and one not so easily. These can be shown to prep students in order to help them understand how well they can blend in with their surroundings (camouflage), while explaining how dangerous it can be for young inquisitive minds around rock pools. These still images can be used to point out the features in detail providing students with knowledge which they can comprehend and remember. The application of this knowledge could save their life one day.
