Adaptive Coloration in Animals is a 500 page textbook about camouflage, warning coloration and mimicry by the University of Cambridge Zoologist Hugh Cott, first published during the Second World War in 1940, the book sold widely and made him famous. The book's general method is to present a wide range of examples from across the animal kingdom of each type of coloration, including marine invertebrates and fishes as well as terrestrial insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. The examples are supported by a large number of Cott's own drawings, diagrams, and photographs. This essentially descriptive natural history treatment is supplemented with accounts of experiments by Cott and others.
