Picture of the day

A camouflaged flounder. Camouflage is the method which allows an otherwise visible organism or object to remain indiscernible from the surrounding environment. Besides blending in with their surroundings, animals may disguise themselves as something else to avoid predation.

The picture of the day is an image which is dynamically updated each day with an image from Wikipedia:Featured pictures. You can insert the image on your user page or talk page by adding the text {{Pic of the day}}. It will be displayed in a box of no more than 600 pixels wide, and will include a small amount of text based on the article in which the image appears. For those of you that want the no-text version, use {{POTD}}.
