Adam Smith helped kids learn how animals and plants camouflage themselves as he passed out cameras to each team to photograph a plant or animal that each child would help to camouflage with a drawing/painting. This week at the Bok Tower Gardens Discovery Days kids had a chance to read different pages from the book "The Missing Gator Of Gumbo Limbo" and look for various animals and plants

at the gardens that camouflage themselves for protection from

different predators.
