What are the 4 types of camouflage?

Ans. Camouflage is a type of coloration deceptive that is very much important for the animals for survival. In its natural habitat, camouflage can make it very much difficult to point out an animal because in its surroundings the animals appear to blend. It can provide protection from predators so this adaption is very much beneficial. It allows it to be a stealthy predator that able to hunt down or snatch its unsuspecting prey or at the same time, it can also conceal an animal. There are different type of camouflages that protect them self from the predators through different techniques and safe the life of their families because during hunting many families are going to finish through predators .

Types of camouflage:

There are four type of camouflage that are concealing coloration, disruptive coloration, disguise and mimicry.

Concealing coloration: this type of camouflage are the animals that hide themselves by using coloration against same color background by using concealing coloration. There are many animals that have white color that help in going to be blend with snow because they live in snow areas. Animals like deer are converted into the same brown color just like grass that help in protecting from the predators as they are going to be invisible. Background matching is the most common type of camouflage. They appear s one with their surroundings due to close color resemblance. Fish eggs are the most common example as they are almost transparent so in the sea they didn’t appear. The grasshoppers are easily blend with the grass and shrubs and polar bears can easily hide in the snow.so this type of feature can help they camouflage to hide from the other predators and protect their life because during hunting many animals may have lost their life so such quality work as protect shield for the animals and they safe their life by using this coloration. 

The disruptive coloration: there are many animals who uses spots, strips or patterns to breakup its outline so they are going to be different from background and they take the advantages of disruptive coloration. In other words, as pattern the disruptive coloration may appear so the marking does not coincide with the body shape of the animals or outline. When the flatfish get rest on the bottom of the ocean then they are marked in such a way that their skin pattern do not reveal their counter. Disruptive pattern in the coloration also found in the reef fish, they provide them safety in the day light hours over reefs. The fish from dense school in which all of the individuals’ fish orient themselves in the same direction when the predators approaches them. The fish movement presents an extremely confusing spectacles that coupled with the similar disruptive coloration of vertical banding or horizontal stripes. For attacking the predators this is going to be very difficult. There are also some forms of disruptive colorations that also hide the movement function of animals. Sometime from tall trees or grasses the movement of animals going to be difficult they feel very problem while travelling or moving safely from one place to another.

Disguise: animals are cover them self in their surround and also adopt the disguise techniques. Some type of leaf or branches are used by the insect as a costume to cover them self from predators. It is also just lei concealing coloration because in this also animals merge with their background. But in this technique they also use the appearance technique with the color changing according to surroundings that help them to protect from the predators. So some animals may cover themselves in some tree or behind some area that work as safety shield for the animals. such technique is using to make fool the predators that they are getting confused while watching the animals as their prey and they didn’t found their prey easily. So animals use their technique to hide from predators and protect their life. Because due to color resemblance or structure resembling or appearance animals get advantage that they have to protect themselves from prey and the predators are going confused to find the animals. Many animals hide their small children in this technique and also protect their children because mostly predators also hunt the child of animals because they get extra benefit from children. so this type of technique used by animals are provide them safety feature from all type of threats and protect their own life from hunting.

Mimicry: in the world of animals, many animals use mimicry or imposters to making fool to predators from prey. For this, we have to get detail knowledge of animals and their all types so the proper differentiation can be obtaining after getting detail knowledge’s about all animals.  Sometime, animals mimic their unappetizing cousins or taking their characteristics to safe themselves. It is very difficult to create difference if you have not details knowledge about animals. It is very important to know about poisonous creature or bad tasting and also compare them from copycat because they almost look similar. So this type of camouflage is the better is saving their life from predators. There are many problems face by the animals to protect their life from hunting and also in moving from one place to another according to natural climate their movement must be safe and protected.

 What animal is the best at camouflage? what is the current US military camouflage?

Craziest camouflage:  So many animals or insects are found in the category of camouflages but the craziest insect is the caterpillars as they found and the most impressive camouflages among many others. they just look like bird poo and they pose to look like they have snake head on their rear ends to get safety from the human and other animals.  They have great quality to hide from others and appear as different from their original body and appearance. Different insects and animals are camouflages according to their living requirements and they protect them self for hunting and other creatures they are dangerous for their life.

Problems: There are many problems due to these animals or insects are adopting features to change them self to hide from the others and also protect them and to their families. Basically every animals or insect have life and they want to live long with their families. But this is a system of nature that every small insect is the diet of other major animals and this circle is always doing t in the same manner. But every living organism has right to protect its life and safe from others. Camouflages are the techniques used by the animals that help animals and insect in saving their life and also give them protection in maintaining their life.

Features of camouflage: Many insect or animals can convert according to their surroundings or hide themselves from the eyes of other animals. They can change their color, their structure, their appearance, they can change their looks so they are just look like their surroundings. When predators are come to prey them then this technique will help them to protect from the eyes of predators and they are going to be fool and can found their prey easily.

These qualities are found in the camouflages that they can survive in different circumstances according to requirement and they can manage their life circle in all type of situations.

Different purposes of camouflage: Camouflages are also used for different purposes for the human being because some time for specific purposes camouflages are going to utilize in the protection of country or many other purposes. So camouflages are the animals that protect them self and also give benefit to other due to any reasons. Some camouflages are only protecting them self because they are very much dangerous for others but they can convert themselves in any different state and also bring dangerous to others.

US military camouflage:

The united states military is also using the camouflages techniques in their army and recently they are follow the pattern of scorpion in their uniform because these patterns help them to present not visible and also safe them from the enemies. The army of the united states want to convert their uniform in the camouflage pattern and their all equipment also going to convert in this pattern because this technique helps in protecting the army and keep them hide from the view of enemy in the green fields or in the rock climbing.

This technique used in the army is very beneficial for the army force but after using this technique a major effect appear in the budget of the army as high cost is spend in the making or each uniform and also on equipment and this approach used as universal camouflage pattern that designed to work but high cost burden also faces by the army due to this technique. Actually many force also complain about this work and their results.

 Before 2002, every American service man has chosen to select the pattern of camouflage according top given two choices but the country is also spending lot of amount on the defense system and they have not enough budget to spend on the uniform making and on the development of such equipment. Army need proper planning and budgeting that implement new and innovative techniques as defensive from the enemies. So the united states adopt that technique that is cost effective and also supportive for their army.

 In the united states, they spend a huge amount in the military and also make their army strong and supportive. But there are many issue also arise while adopting this for the army because when a major ratio of budget also spend on such area then further budget is consider a s burden on the economy and the taxes also going to increase with in the country that is additional burden in the economy. But the reasons behind spending extra amount in the army as they are protecting the country from the enemies.

The army of the United States wants to convert their uniform in the camouflage pattern and their all equipment also going to convert in this pattern because this technique helps in protecting the army and keep them hides from the view of enemy in the green fields or in the rock climbing. This technique used in the army is very beneficial for the army force but after using this technique a major effect appear in the budget of the army as high cost is spend in the making or each uniform and also on equipment and this approach used as universal camouflage pattern that designed to work but high cost burden also faces by the army due to this technique.

But this camouflage pattern also gives many benefit to the army as they present as their background and using the same techniques that are used by the animals to protect from their enemies. So in the united states military this pattern according to requirement must be adopted for better protection techniques and also show a threat on its enemies and fall them into fear and they are going to be strong as compare to other enemies.
