Description

Why is a squirrel gray? Why do some bugs look like sticks? The answer to these questions is, camouflage. For many animals, being able to hide in plain sight or look like something entirely different is a necessity of survival. Learning from the animal world, humans have employed camouflage in hunting and warfare.
