Camouflage is the most befitting defence for or against predators in nature. 'Crypsis' is another word for this type of safeguarding mechanism. They use this tactic to disguise their appearance and to blend in with the surroundings. These animals replicate the trees and twigs around them while they rest. Army green along with charcoal grey and burnt umber creates a well fused palette depicting the dark, dingy and uncanny environment. There is an enigmatic beauty about these rugged and wild textures which bring us in close proximity of nature and animals that it almost feels concealed in the part of their biome.
