In zoology, camouflage is a method of defense that allows otherwise visible animals to remain unnoticed to their predators by blending with the surrounding environment. Camouflage is obtained not by achieving actual invisibility, but by not being noticed.
A particular form of camouflage is mimesis (or masquerade), in which the animal does not hide itself, but resembles to something else of no special interest to the predator, thus not being noticed.
Simple but effective, this is the form of defense I was advised to adopt by my counterparts in Nangarhar. As my North Face shirt made me too easy to spot, I was offered a typical Afghan outfit.
And to make my mimesis into an Afghan complete, I was given an Afghan name: Zilmay, young.

Ricordati che gli animali adottano queste strategie di difesa non per gioco, ma perchè possono fare la differenza tra rimanere vivi o essere mangiati. Oltre al vestito, impara anche a muoverti come un afghano... la mimesi sarà senz'altro più efficiente!
