One adaptation that enables an animal species to survive despite predation by other species is effective camouflage. Yet some prey species with few or no other adaptations to counteract predation have endured for a long time with black-and-white coloration that seems unlikely to provide effective camouflage.
The statement 'Animals of many predatory species do not perceive color or pattern in the same manner as humans do' most contributes to a resolution of the apparent discrepancy mentioned above.
