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!

What's even better is that the lines align in both diagonals. That's especially satisfying!

Wonder what kind of bird this is? Judging by its habitat, it might be some kind of tundra grouse but who knows?

If only they were staring at each other this could have turned into an epic poster movie, like Civil War or Bats v Sups.

This picture is SUPER confusing! I'm pretty certain that obelisk is much much smaller than the castle so why it look so big??

This is no tall building, it is a small cube made from stone that is polished so well that it reflects its surroundings.

Tall buildings that blend with the sky are dangerous for planes, drones, helicopters, etc.

That joke would have worked better if the car looked like the environment, not just the owner’s clothes. But yeah, that's not a very good color, for neither of them.
