The Web’s Best Video Clips: Videos With A Brain

An octopus’s camouflage is aided by certain specialized skin cells which can change the apparent color, opacity, and reflectiveness of the epidermis. Chromatophores contain yellow, orange, red, brown, or black pigments. Other color-changing cells are reflective iridophores, and leucophores. This color-changing ability can also be used to communicate with or warn other octopuses. (from Wikipedia)
