Unusual Octopus Camouflage and Mimicking Behaviour

Unusual Octopus Camouflage and Mimicking Behaviour

Octopuses are known for their incredible talent to change color, texture, and shape, which helps them hide and stay safe in their surroundings. They are like real-life magicians, blending into their homes to avoid being seen by other animals.

While they usually do a great job at matching their environment, it's not every day that you see them pretending to be bigger creatures. This doesn't happen a lot, and it can be different for each type of octopus and the situation they're in. Some octopuses are like undercover agents, using their disguises to keep themselves safe in the big underwater world.

This Octopus 🐙 not only camouflaged with its surroundings but also mimicked the facial expressions of an angry sea creature.

For me, It is jaw dropping 😮.

This octopus definitely saw the unseen

[Eszentric]

The fact that it's even aware that a big scary face is intimidating and how to form one with its body, takes its intelligence quotient to a whole new level.

Disturbing? It's incredible. Nature is awesome.

It's one thing to adjust your skin pigment but to transform its texture as well 😱 Truly a phenomenal animal

I’ve never given up any type of food before, ever… as a Korean, octopus is a very regular part of our diet. After seeing time and time again what a magnificent and intelligent an animal the octopus is, I think I won’t eat it anymore…

No mirror and still able to mimic the look..Just amazing

[asiansuperman]

Octopus knows something we don’t lol 😂

Seriously, this octopus 🐙 could open shows in Vegas. Outstanding !

[Mountaingirl]

That much control over its camouflage and body shape.. extremely impressive.

Animals using camouflage is so amazing to me, because it's like they know exactly how they look like in the eyes of whomever is looking or getting close to them. It's like they have the ability of seeing themselves in the mirror and say, yeap that's how i wanna look like right now. 😂

[darylchase]

It's crazy how they even know how to come up with these shapes and designs n patterns

[deesnutz]

The fact that it knows to disguise itself as something menacing with eyes is proof of higher thought🤯

Octopuses are way smarter than we give them credit for. They should be lawfully protected from fisherman.

[lori]

Looks like a Moray Eel! And that IS an angry sea creature!

[dionneleaf]

It wouldn't surprise me if we later found out that these creatures are extraterrestrial. Amazing!
