The octopus 'true' extreme prototype in the blockbuster Finding Dory

The Hank character in Finding Dory is based on real life octopus, and it is just as popular as the movie.

One of the most impressive characters in the animated film is causing Pixar's "Finding Dory" box office to be Hank , an octopus who lost a tentacle. In the movie, Hank can change colors to "stealth" with his surroundings. This character is based on a real octopus. Surprisingly, "Hank's real-life version" is more "good" in the movie.

In the movie, Hank can change colors to blend into the surroundings.

And mimic octopus , real-life Hank prototype, can do the same.Watch it blend into the perfect perfect sea floor.

Just like the name, mimic octopus can imitate the shape of other species.As you can see it turns the body into a lion fish in the middle and sea snake in the picture below.

Scientists believe that mimic octopus is the only octopus that can pretend to be another species without having a pattern near it, as it imitates a flatfish in the image above.

In one scene, Hank panicked when he was poked by the children and the octopus spewed out black ink.

In fact, mimic octopus often does the same when it wants to run away.

The tentacles of this species are about 0.6m long.It uses tentacles to catch fish and crustaceans in narrow places.

Scientists only know this rare octopus since 1998.

It lives mainly shallow waters off the coast of Indonesia and Malaysia.

Thanks to all its unique abilities, mimic octopus is the most perfect species for Pixar to use for the character Hank in the film.
