Camouflage is mainly related to survival. Animals make use of their appearance to blend in with the surroundings, avoiding predators or sneaking up on prey. Similarly, military camouflage colors of green, brown, and tan are employed to hide personnel or equipment from the keen eye of an enemy. However, camouflage doesn’t always have to be about life or death. It can also be associated with fun, like looking for Waldo hiding in plain sight.
Today we’re looking at camouflage as exactly that—an enjoyable pastime, courtesy of the “Find The Sniper” subreddit. Despite its name, it invites its community members to look for various objects that are blended into the background so well that one has to really squint to find them. Scroll down to find them, and don’t forget to upvote the ones that challenged you the most so others can struggle too!
While you’re at it, make sure to check out a conversation with wildlife biologist and digital creator Brian Grossman, who kindly agreed to tell us more about camouflage in nature.

“Camouflage is an animal's way of blending in with its environment either to hide itself from predators or to aid it in being able to ambush other animals for food,” explains wildlife biologist and digital creator Brian Grossman.
“By using natural colors found in the area, along with lines and shapes to break up the overall shape of the animal (or person), the animal is able to blend in and be less visible to potential predators or prey.”

Some of the most impressive camouflage cases are found in snakes and lizards, says Grossman. “I've always been fascinated by the leaf-tailed gecko that not only uses color to blend in with its surroundings but also the very unique shape of its tail that has a leaf-like appearance.”

Find The Jaguar
Another fascinating case of animal camouflage is the Arctic fox. It’s fur changes depending on the season. Since it’s habitat changes dramatically, it has to adapt to it too. Therefore, in winter the fox’s fur turns white to blend in with the snow, while in summer it becomes brown to fuse with the greenery.

Some animals decorate themselves with materials found in their environment to blend in. For example, Caddisfly larvae use pieces of debris and sand to cover themselves and become almost invisible on the bottom of a river. Others even have disruptive patterns, like zebras, which allows them to visually confuse a predator when running together in a herd.

Find The Cat

Just under the headboard in the middle, black cat's head. I found it by going to the original image. This little game is made harder by BP posting low-res versions of the pictures. Go to the original and it's way sharper.
Kelly Scott 1 year ago
I might be wrong but I think this is another one that's hiding. I think it's lying behind the leg of the end table on the right.
Winter 1 year ago
Nope! Look down the middle of the bad... *slightly* to the right. Beyond the pillows, you can see the headboard of the bed, right? And sitting behind the headboard, *almost* "sheltering under the biggest leaf, there's a black and white feline! You can *juusst* see his little white face... Which is really a bit weird, coz I thought that was wallpaper behind the bed... but how can a cat partly hide behind the leaf on a piece of wallpaper!?

Find The Moth (Do I Finally Have A Tough One!?)
HTakeover 1 year ago
Good lord this one took forever, even with help from the original post. Follow that long vertical grout line up to the middle junction. Sitting on the top left of that corner. It's a slightly darker bit of grey/black dots. The tip of the wing is sitting just over the vertical grout line. Look for a straight line.
Humans have hugely taken inspiration from nature’s camouflage, which allowed them to produce camouflage clothing for the military and hunters. “Over the years, humans have taken to know how various colors and shapes help conceal animals in nature and used those insights to create clothing that helps humans blend in with nature in a similar fashion,” says Grossman.

HTakeover 1 year ago
Dang, that one was tough. In the center of the rocks is some foliage. Upper right-corner of that, almost touching it (from our viewpoint). If you see the really dark rock straight above the foliage, you've gone too far up. She's sitting, facing the right while looking at the camera, wearing a white hat.

One of the first to notice animal’s camouflage trickery was the British biologist Edward Poulton in the 19th century. He observed that color was often employed to deceive peers. “By far the most widespread use,” he wrote, “is to assist an animal in escaping from its enemies or in capturing its prey.” When he discovered this, he probably wasn’t aware of the fact that it will guide military camouflage in the upcoming decades.

The invention of military camouflage belongs to artists Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola and others. It was developed around 1914 in France. The group of artists were a part of a movement that recognized the need to hide military personnel and equipment from the enemy, particularly during World War I.
