Ermine.

In winter, the ermine becomes completely white, practically merging with the surrounding snow in its coloring, and only the tip of the tail invariably remains black. 
Such color mimicry helps these animals both hunt more successfully and hide themselves from other larger predators.
Also, ermine fur in winter becomes especially thick and soft, warming its owner more.

The Amazonian crowned fly-eater Onychorhynchus coronatus is a small bird with a thin beak, a body length of 15-17 cm and a weight of 13-21 g, living in South America (Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Brazil).

If it were not for the beautiful "kokoshnik" (which the bird demonstrates only during the mating season or if it is necessary to scare someone), these fly-eaters could be mistaken for ordinary European flycatchers.

The feathers that make up the crest are usually colored fiery red with blue tips in males. The females, who do not want to resemble each other, flaunt stunning yellow or orange shades of hairstyles.

The diet of this fly-eater includes various insects (mainly flying), including dragonflies, beetles, hymenoptera, lepidoptera and arthropods.

Despite their small size, fly eaters build luxury apartments for themselves: the diameter of their nests sometimes reaches two meters. These cunning birds make nests above the water so that predators do not get there

But with a relatively modest body size, the tarantula's paw span can reach 20-25 centimeters.
