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.

    I have to give a shout out for Australia's tawny frogmouths, which are probably even better at camouflage than this!
