Animals use camouflage to either help them hide from predators, or to help them sneak up on prey unexpectedly. In the case of the kakapo, being a flightless, nocturnal parrot with very few ways to defend itself, it needs to remain hidden from predators. The kakapo's feathers are mottled green and yellow, which have similar colouring to leaves in the kakapo's habitat and allow the kakapo to blend in with its environment. When a kakapo senses a predator, its first instinct is to freeze. This, coupled with the bird's green colouring, renders it almost invisible to many predators, especially humans, who used to hunt the kakapo for food.
Some examples are:mimicry(harmless mountain snake imitates poisonous coralsnake),camouflage(chameleon<probably what you know already>) and counter-shading(penguin has a black back to camouflage itself from predators on top and a white front to camouflage itself from predators below)

how did the miwok and the hupa use their environment to survive
When orangutans are in camouflage, it helps them to survive. The rain forest filters in little light through the dense canopy which reflects green light and hiding the orangutans.
There is some camouflage in the shrimp, being gray and not brightly colored. However, the species survives by its shear numbers.
It hides itself from predators by blending into its surroundings
it blends in with its surroundings so the prey doesn't see it and run away
Camouflage=Environment. Camouflage uniforms (jungle style for example) worn in a city (police swat teams for example) is NOT camouflage. White camo for snow, Brown camo for dirt areas (desert for example), etc.
Different types of animals use camouflage! Some insects as well use camouflage! For example, the stick bug looks as if it is a part of a tree. Frogs, chameleon ( it is a lizard that changes colors) and other colored animals use camouflage as well. Animals and insects use camouflage to protect itself from it's predators!
