Welcome, internet lurkers. If you're a fan of nature docu-series, such as Planet Earth or Our Planet and enjoy feasting your eyes on the awesomeness, brutality, and beauty of nature, then you likely know that camouflage in the wild is quite common. However, that doesn't make it any less impressive to see it before your very eyes. Barklice have adapted throughout the millennia to look — as the name implies — exactly like bark, helping them to avoid predators. Chameleons are famously able to change the color of their scales to blend into the environment. While zebras' black and white stripes stand out to us humans against the yellow savanna plains, their design protects them from being eaten by lions, who are colorblind. 

Urban creatures such as humans, cats, and dogs have no need for camouflage as we have no animal predators in our busy streets and sleepy suburbs. However, nature, uh, finds a way. Enjoy these 26 instances of accidental camouflage, and test your eyesight to see if you can spot the hidden creature!
