camouflage
Camouflage is a natural or artificial method that helps an object or organism blend into its surroundings. This adaptation allows animals like chameleons and deer to avoid detection by predators or prey. Camouflage can involve colors, patterns, and textures that mimic the environment, making it harder for others to see them.
In addition to animals, camouflage is also used in military applications. Soldiers wear camouflage uniforms designed to match the terrain, helping them remain hidden from enemies. Similarly, vehicles and equipment may be painted in patterns that disrupt their outlines, enhancing stealth during operations.
