Camouflage 101

    Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis)

    Question: How do you hide a 6 meter (19 feet) high Giraffe...?

    Answer: Surprisingly well..!

    Camouflage in action: At about 20-30 meters away, it just looked like a beautiful Acacia Thorn Tree with an impressive trunk.

    Best viewed LARGE.
