What adaptation does the gulf flounder use to avoid being seen by its predators?

The gulf flounder uses its ability to change color and its flat, oval shape to camouflage itself from predators. The flounder will bury itself in the sand or mud and change its color to match its surroundings, often blending in perfectly with the ocean floor. This adaptation makes it difficult for predators to spot the flounder and helps it to survive in its environment.
