Nature's Paintbrush: The Patterns and Colors Around You
Have you ever noticed the patterns and colors on plants and animals Patterns may be bold like the stripes on a tiger or beautiful like the feathers of a peacock’s tail Colors may be subtle like the winter white of an arctic fox or radiant like the ruby red of a rain forest frog But no matter what they look like patterns
and colors are always useful They help living things survive Have you ever touched a starfish A pattern of hard round bumps makes its back so rough that few creatures will try to eat it
