Lessons from Malayan Tapir

Black-White Forest Disruption
Core lesson
A bold contrast can hide a body when the shadows already speak in patches.
Biological basis
Malayan Tapirs have a black-and-white saddle pattern that disrupts their outline in dark forest. They browse with flexible snouts and move through dense tropical habitats.
