Perfect Camouflage

Over millions of years, polar bears and other arctic mammals have evolved an almost perfect camouflage against the ice and snow. For example, how many arctic wolves can you spot in this picture of a glacier in Prins Christian Sund? (There are seven.)

 

This Greenlandic postbox is in many ways even more remarkable, having adapted to the typical red Nanortalik dwellings in the space of a few generations. Post Greenland was created in 1938; the original boxes were green.
