Camouflage
concealment through color or pattern / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Camouflage (disambiguation).
Camouflage is a visual disguise. Without it, an animal would be recognised easily. If the natural color of an animal makes it look like its surroundings, that is camouflage. One example is a tiger's stripes in the long grass.

Camouflage is a form of deception. The word camouflage comes from the French word camoufler, which means "to disguise".[1][2]
