The correct answers are:

1- Reflexive

The pronoun "themselves" here is refering to the subject: animals.

2- Intensive

Here, the word "themselves" seek to put emphasis on the fact that it is the animals who are being protected by the camouflage.

3- Reflexive

"Herself" in this sentence acts as a reflexive pronoun because the subject and the object (the mother polar bear) are the same.

4- Intensive

The word "itself" is used to stress that what blends with the snow is the bear's fur.

5- Reflexive

"Itself" here is a reflexive pronoun because it refers to the subject and functions as direct object.
