And they're principally insectivores, meat eaters, but they do play a very important role when it comes to maintaining the plant community in this ecosystem.
While the physical manifestations of camouflage might be diverse, they function in one of three ways: to impair detection, to impair identification or to redirect attack.
In fact, a 2007 study found that the diversity of marine creatures over the past hundreds of millions of years is directly tied to interactions between predator and prey.
The arms race between predator and resistant prey has led to complex venoms that are incredibly precise in their targeting, fast-acting, and potent--all useful characteristics for medicines.
So it's a huge success because in a four or five-year-old forest, we've now got ocelots hunting other animals and we've restored the trophic interactions that we want to see in a rain forest.
