Recently, researchers have recorded an interesting video about the camouflage of octopus. First, look at this picture and guess where the octopus is hiding?

The answer is that the octopus is in the middle of the picture.

This is a video that ocean explorers recorded when studying the Caribbean. They were very surprised to discover the existence of this octopus.

Researcher Jonathan Gordon said: "I plunged down to understand the coral reef, but suddenly, the octopus appeared before my eyes."

Octopus is one of the few marine organisms that can camouflage in water. In addition to being able to change colors, octopuses can also transform into different shapes such as curling up or polarizing like sea snakes . to blend in with the surrounding environment.

On octopus skin there are thousands of color changing cells called pigment cells under the skin . These cells are stored in a bag - it can burst at any time.

The "bag" contains this pigment associated with the nerves, by shifting, the octopus will be able to change the texture and color of its skin. This helps them to hide under corals without being detected.

When detected, the octopus will "show up" , stretching its long, large tentacles forward to make them look more scary. One of the reasons that camouflage octopus is to evade enemies. If threatened, they are ready to spray ink on the attacker before finding a safe place to hide.
