what is camouflage?

Answer 1

It's the method which allows an otherwise visible organism or object to remain indiscernible from the surrounding environment.

Answer 2

There are several factors that determine what sort of camouflage a species develops:

Camouflage develops differently depending on the physiology and behavior of an animal. For example, an animal with fur will develop a different sort of camouflage than an animal with scales, and an animal that swims in large schools underwater will develop different camouflage than one that swings alone through the trees.

An animal's environment is often the most important factor in what the camouflage looks like. The simplest camouflage technique is for an animal to match the "background" of its surroundings. In this case, the various elements of the natural habitat may be referred to as the model for the camouflage.

Since the ultimate goal of camouflage is to hide from other animals, the physiology and behavior of an animal's predators or prey is highly significant. An animal will not develop any camouflage that does not help it survive, so not all animals blend in with their environment the same way. For example, there's no point in an animal replicating the color of its surroundings if its main predator is color-blind.
For most animals, "blending in" is the most effective approach. You can see this sort of camouflage everywhere. Deer, squirrels, hedgehogs and many other animals have brownish, "earth tone" colors that match the brown of the trees and soil at the forest ground level. Sharks, dolphins and many other sea creatures have a grayish-blue coloring, which helps them blend in with the soft light underwater

Answer 3

it helps animals to blend in with their environment. The site below explains camouflage in basic terms. Also, wikipedia is not a credible site in the scientific community, because the articles can be edited by anybody. The person who wrote the article may or may not know what they are talking about.

Answer 4

Clothes that have stuff painted on them so that you blend in with your environment. Like hunting clothes are camouflaged.

Answer 5
