Title: Where is the Octopus? Cephalopods & Camouflage (video)
Post by: IronDioPriest on September 13, 2013, 07:44:56 AM

This is SO cool. Just a short video - you won't be disappointed.

Where's The Octopus? (http://sciencefriday.com/video/08/05/2011/where-s-the-octopus.html#path/video/08/05/2011/where-s-the-octopus.html)

When marine biologist Roger Hanlon captured the first scene in this video he started screaming. Hanlon, senior scientist at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, studies camouflage in cephalopods--squid, cuttlefish and octopus. They are masters of optical illusion. These are some of Hanlon's top video picks of sea creatures going in and out of hiding.
