Camouflage experts spend countless hours making soldiers and military equipment blend in seamlessly with their surroundings, deftly using shapes and colors that best suit the match the different environments in warfare.
This makes sense, as it does when creatures do the same in an effort to avoid predators. But everyday things on the street? Not so much. That's why it's hilariously funny when people and objects are spotted accidently going chameleon and hiding in plain sight. We here at Bored Panda have collected a list of just these occasions, as a follow-on to a previous post which you can find here.

Make sure you dont step on the floor.. You know what i mean.. Care for the tail
Xandra 7 years ago
We used to have a rug in front of the bathroom door, a mix of grays. The cat, a tabby, of course loved the rug. Realized it was a completely wrong choice when I stepped on the cat's tail going to the bathroom at night... I don't know who jumped higher, but I think me
Jessica Bertram 7 years ago
Thank goodness we have a Persian rug with many autumn colors on it, and our cat happens to white, so that when he stretches out for 3 a.m. belly rubs, we can see him and avoid the danger. :)

This Owl's Camouflage

I have to give a shout out for Australia's tawny frogmouths, which are probably even better at camouflage than this!
phil blanque 7 years ago
Well...Owls do not really have predators...they do not need camouflage for protection. And their prey have no idea what is coming. Do you think a mouse is looking up in a tree thinking: "It looks ok to me".? Nope!!!

sorry, but I think this is photoshopped.. the dots are identical to the ones in the chair..and as Dian mentioned, they line up too.. I say fake.
Marina 7 years ago
If you pay attention, you'll see that the distante between the dots on the shirt is greater than between the dots on the chair and they don't allign perfectly in the right part as the shoulder can't be seen entirely

I hope I'm not missing your joke here but since she was mind blown when she first saw it and didn't come with that shirt the first time she visited, I'm guessing she wasn't the one to give her the curtain 😁
