Camouflage By Crypsis
See also: CrypsisCrypsis means blending with the background, making the animal or military equipment hard to see (or to detect in other ways, such as by sound or scent: for details, see Crypsis). This can be achieved in many different ways, including:
- General resemblance to background
- Disruptive patterning (breaking up outline)
- Eliminating shadow
- Crypsis by behaviour
- Crypsis by changing skin pattern, colour
- Countershading
- Counterillumination
These ways of achieving crypsis are described below.
