I conducted a lab that would investigate the question of whether or not camouflage favored natural selection. If an animal blended into its surroundings, I wanted to know if it could more effectively evade predators and survive as a species. I hypothesized that if I were a predatory bird hunting for mice in a field, then the mice that were camouflaged with their environment would be harder to find. The results did not support my hypothesis, as most of the mice (often more than 2/3) that had a similar appearance to the field they lived in were hunted, and did not escape predators. You can determine if a predatory bird would have more difficulty finding mice that were camouflaged with their environment. On average, the mice that were camouflaged
