Octopus in the process of camouflaging itself nearly perfectly. This clip is from a TED (Technology Entertainment Design) presentation by David Gallo showing the Octopus and other sea and deep sea creatures. The underwater video was shot by Roger Hanlon.

Watch it full screen!

Yeah, I know ... others have posted a similar video. I didn't do a search before I posted. (I won't do that again.) I got a clearer picture than most though, and the others don't have the comments by David Gallo, and the crowd's reaction to seeing it.

You can see the whole video at:

    The octopus copies it. I don't know if it really thinks about 'copying', I think its more similar to when a human feels their hair stand up on the back of their neck .. only the octopus has colors instead of hairs, and they 'stand up' in the form of whatever they see around them.

    Thanks B0zz3 (& Karen9084). I hope you got a chance to see the longer original video by Roger Hanlon. (The link to it is in the notes.)

    You would probably be fascinated to learn that all forms of life on this planet did not come from a divine creator but rather by the process of evolution by natural selection.
