THAT’S SO FUCKING SCARY.Waaaaait whoa. Guys. He’s also changing the texture of his skin, along with attempting to match the tone of the ship’s(?) floor.HE’S TRYING TO BLEND IN.HE KNOWS HE’S IN DANGER AND HE’S SCARED AND DOESN’T WANT TO BE SEEN.SHHHHH NO BABY OCTOPUS COME HERE IT’S OKAY <3We literally have a shape shifting animal with the best camouflage mechanism in nature and nobody thinks that’s the coolest shit like what the fuck we could learn so much from it’s biology everyone needs to get outta my face cause this creature is metal as fuckThere’s one better than this. It’s the cuttlefish. (I watch a lot of animal documentaries, okay?)No but you have to post a gif of the cuttlefish now. Animal shows are the best shows because naturethe ninjas of the seay’all see this motherfucker right here?this is the Indonesian Mimic Octopus.This cool little guy can mimic a crab, lionfish, sea snake, flatfish, and jellyfish. He uses these amazing disguise techniques to avoid and deter predators, and also to attract possible meals.he is the sneakiest ninja of the seawhat the fuck is happening underwater to create these fucking thingsTime and space is happening.Animals lived on ground for only 550,000,000 years, while underwater life existed for billions of years. Also the ground is only 30% of the Earth and height wise it’s only as tall as some tall trees unless you’re flying. Also many places on the ground are deserts and thus don’t have water to support much life.The ocean on the other hand is 70% of the Earth’s surface, has depths of down to 10+ kms, and most of those depths can support life, so there’s a lot more variety in the types of animals you can see while on the ground most animals stick to 20-30 different basic survival strategies.Octopuses are the shitOctopi but yea. They’re coolOctopus is Greek, not Latin, so ‘octopuses’ is correct. You could also say ‘octopodes.’per my friend who was SUPER into marine biology: octopodes in academic context. octopuses everywhere else. octopi if you want people to roll their eyes at you. -- source link
