definition: Camouflage is a way of hiding something. Camouflage hides a thing by covering or coloring it so that it looks like whatever is around it. Many animals have natural camouflage. Their skin or fur has the same color as the things around them. The army sometimes uses camouflage to hide people, buildings, or vehicles.
If you want to hide in the woods, you can wear green and brown for camouflage.
