Gonna have to Stretch this answer out because the SUB wont allow it when it is as short as it should be.

By dying If your Camouflage sucks. The better it is, the more likely they live on to reproduce. Which means that over thousands or millions of years, the Well camouflaged ones will outnumber the other so far that it will be the norm. And that it will still become better and better.
