Rock pocket mice can either have a dark black coloration or light coloration.  You observe that most of the pocket mice that live on dark rocks are dark black in coloration, and that the pocket mice that are light in color live on light-colored sand. You hypothesize that the coloration differences serve as camouflage protecting the mice against predators.   Design an experiment to test your hypothesis. Describe this experiment in 3-4 sentences. In this description, make sure you indicate the following: dependent variable, independent variable, and your prediction.
