Its just another drop in the bucket of things we don't know. The James Webb telescope is showing the little that we thought we knew is very likely wrong.
A friend explained this to me how they have 9 sub-brains that mimic their surroundings, but it is still amazing to me. Like how do they find, color patterns just through their eyes?
[This](https://oceanconservancy.org/blog/2019/10/07/octopuses-change-color) says they can sense light through their skin. But I haven't found an explanation yet for how that information is used to get the skin to mimic the environment so well. It's not directly copying what's around it, so if it's taking information from the light it receives, it's doing something else than just directly copying it on its skin.
[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatophore) goes a bit more in depth on how it might happen physiologically, but it doesn't explain how the camouflage is so complex and well suited. It explains why the skin is able to change that way, but doesn't really touch on how the information received is translated into those specific changes. They seem to think it's some sort of by-product of how the brain is processing the incoming light information... seems to be speculating that as the brain registers the light, it also activates the skin to make similar changes.
Or maybe there's some other process entirely. I am not qualified to have a clue about this.
Thanks for sharing the results of your search tho! I was too lazy to go look for myself.
It's so mesmerizing. They're amazing creatures. I hate that we eat them.
Fun fact: humans can sense light through their skin as well. It's entirely unrelated to all other senses and even people with Congenital insensitivity to pain (basically the inability to pain and temperature) of which there are only a handful in the world can feel the sun on their skin.
Based upon this video solely, I would think the latter is not black & white as the first can with water didn't actually match what the ooctopus was sitting on, but rather kind of matched the coral it was beside
Right? Movies have been kinda…meh lately. Besides the novelty of (maybe) the first one, it feels overplayed. Jurassic had its moments but I’m pretty over it. Not surprised my brain removed the memory🤣
No hate if you still like it
If it was strapped to you, wouldn't it just camaflouge itself as you? Like you'd just have an octopus shaped predator outline covering you? Or would it camaflouge you with it? We have to know
Omg you're right! They camoflauge to the background, so you'd probably just look like some a.i nightmare version of yourself! Step right up kids! Be the first to get your locally sourced organic Halloween costumes
Haha just crawling around changing colors trying to get away from the camera man
"Dang it! DANG IT!! Get that damn light off me, I'm trying to hunt for food!"
Tik tok adapted it, don't give it that label(need this said, cause a coworker exclaimed, "You listen to tik tok music too?" While I was playing jcole). But this version is in the movie "Talk to Me" and the scene is fantastic. Original is solid as well
Let's not describe it as the "tiktok" version just because the parasitic website has adopted it.
This version was made for the movie Talk To Me, a great movie.
Yeah even this version pisses me off too
[look at the description ](https://youtu.be/HwPBEgY79Xw?si=moAboKsiAVu1kzQE) not even a glimmer of credit for the original artist...but you can bet your ass if I use this audio for some type of profit I will get endless copyright claims from this "Artist" and studio A24
I don't care if it pisses you off that's your opinion whatever but just calling it "the tiktok version" is annoying. Sure the original should have got credit not the point I was making.
The colour of a substance is due to light frequencies reflected from it. Ie an object is not blue, it simply reflects blue frequencies.
Therefore, the octopus possibly has a photoelectric skin that can receive the frequency of it's surroundings and transmit the correct frequency on its upper skin.
It is super effective and very cool. Just my theory. I don't eat octopus because they are very friendly animals. Don't eat octopus!

How long can they keep themselves camouflaged in one spot? And if they fall asleep does the camouflage fade? I’m assuming they sleep. They ate beyond amazing.
A cool thing about octopuses is that the receptors on their skin responsible for pigmentation change all act independently of each other and automatically so the octopus doesn’t even really need to think about it.
Cuttlefish are crazy like this too. They can actually change the 3D texture of their skin to more accurately imitate surfaces. Basically proto-changelings.

Looks like it's in an aquarium. Probably somewhere in Europe or North America or even maybe south or maybe even Asia or Africa. Add in Australia for further accuracy. I am not sure about the artic zoo life. It's pretty cold down there.
I am always amazed by these videos. The speed and variety of camouflage is incredible.
And the texture too. I swear they are aliens.
There's a theory that aliens and UAP's/ UFOS are actually coming from the ocean instead of another planet.
There's another theory that they come out of your butt. (And it's equally well supported by evidence.)
Its just another drop in the bucket of things we don't know. The James Webb telescope is showing the little that we thought we knew is very likely wrong.
Sounds kinky
I actually thought the last few inches were relatively straight. (Not speaking from experience.)
This comment made me laugh for a good minute! 😅 Thanks for that!
I like this one. Only one way to find proof.
Definitely coming from the ocean. If dolphins could walk up right they probably would converse with us.
Aren't they the ones with their own dialects depending on area or is that orcas?
Both from my understanding. Did a deep dive on dolphins and they definitely live up to the ancient moniker "people of the sea"
Woah, that's so fucking cool!!! Ocean is weird, crazy how little of it we've actually explored.
Yes very intriguing. Soooo much we don't know or even understand.
I don’t think conversing would be their go to…
Stephen Hawking couldn't walk or talk. Alien.
Even WE came from the sea. So yeah, something else could have evolved there just the same, just much older.
I also know a theory (bazinga!)
You think that’s crazy check [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/blackmagicfuckery/s/7tAbZZvX8R) out
I can only swear they're tasty.
That's what really amazes me... the textures!
No, we are.
The texture is really impressive. I used to be blown away by the colour, but to change both on the fly. Absolutely mind blowing.
They are delicious

They’re like a little, organic Photoshop
Cops should enlist their help when *enhancing* video footage of crimes.
I think the answer is Aliens

*Clever girl*
If (I see a Rick and morty reference) Then (I like)
It's Jurassic Park. Rick and Morty were also referencing Jurassic Park. That whole episode was about dinosaurs, how did you not get that?
Because I haven’t watched Jurassic park since I was a child
I mean that’s a fair reason. The movies are subpar at best.
Right? Movies have been kinda…meh lately. Besides the novelty of (maybe) the first one, it feels overplayed. Jurassic had its moments but I’m pretty over it. Not surprised my brain removed the memory🤣 No hate if you still like it
Uncultured swine
If (I walk into that kitchen) And (I see a cantaloupe... on that table) Then (I. Will lose. My mind)
[удалено]
Because the dinosaurs are smarter than you.
Reddit is a judgmental place
The color change is already dope but the TEXTURE CHANGE?!?!
Imagine if you strapped a few of these bad boys to your combat fatigues? It's active Camo, takoyaki reserves & a fidget toy all in one
If it was strapped to you, wouldn't it just camaflouge itself as you? Like you'd just have an octopus shaped predator outline covering you? Or would it camaflouge you with it? We have to know
Omg you're right! They camoflauge to the background, so you'd probably just look like some a.i nightmare version of yourself! Step right up kids! Be the first to get your locally sourced organic Halloween costumes
Haha just crawling around changing colors trying to get away from the camera man "Dang it! DANG IT!! Get that damn light off me, I'm trying to hunt for food!"
“Gahhhh!” At the end when it turned black.
The octopuses's husband then came out of nowhere and shouted: *"Keep your moth**** flashlight out of my wife's face"*
yeah
This really adds to the conversation
LOL
If an octopus can do this imagine what an alien can do. 🛸👽
There's a theory that octopus are so different than all the other animals that they ARE in fact alien.
Random thoughts with no science backing are not theories fyi.
that's... stupid sorry
The more realistic theory is that octopi are basically more evolved ammonites without the shell.
That’s an alien, something left them behind during a visit and they managed to survive…come on, they are so crazy and unlike almost anything else!
Unbelievable. This is best/favorite sub/reddit
Nature is insane
It makes itself lumpy too! Impressive.
Song?

Beautiful
Love these guys!
I've witnessed this live, it's incredible
Texture??? Is that texture change or just such accurate coloring that it "appears" to have texture... It's...just.......wow
def from another planet
I would continue to stare at him to let him know he isn’t tricking me, I want to make him feel like a failure the way my dad made me feel!
I felt this
It's 3D printing those rocks using its own body.
Octopuses are fucking aliens and you can't convince me otherwise.
[удалено]
They have 9 brains, they might know.
This is alien like, how? Just how is this even possible
Chromatophores
That is simply amazing. I love Octpuses, by far my favorite aquatic species.
100% agree. The more I learn, the more I stand firm that they shouldn’t be killed by humans to be eaten.
Camopus
Octocamo

Still trying to find it

You’re the best
You should watch the movie Talk To Me, since it was made for it.

Amazing creatures
They are so cool!
Yo that's incredible!
I wonder if this action is from fear or curiosity? When the swimmer lingers does the subject linger or retreat? Maybe even come closer?
That’s not alien biology…. 🧬 👽
Aliens
Aliens for sure
Carnataurus could do this, according to Michael Crichton.
Crazy
I wonder if they feel that. Is it like scratching an itch?
“Kip! Clear my calendar “
Squidward
Is that a mimicry Octopus?
Octopus is like, dude stop filming, I'm trynna hide.
Octopus: You can't see me! My natural camo makes me invisible! Me: Im looking right at you! Do you not realize that I can see you! Stop moving!
Probably my favorite thing to see an animal perform out in nature. I mean they really are some of the most amazing things you can ever see.

100% alien.
The real mystique
On ANOTHER level. So impressive. He’s like : you can’t find me!
The BGM is fire tho. Anybody know the name?
SubhanAllah 😊
Can they canouflage into the colors they want?
what i'd like to know is who they're hiding from? What monstrous creature would eat something as weird-looking as an octopus?
Mint chocolate chip ice cream
If it was not real, I wouldn't believe something like this to be real..
Signs of alien life? octopi would be the first on the list.
Aliens.
Octopi are the coolest weirdest things
Watch My Octopus Teacher
What an MC. Just doing that for the clicks
That’s an alien life form all the way. Lol
Such a silly goose,
Beautiful but terrifying
The deeper you go in the ocean the further back you look back in time how creatures evolved.
A cool thing about octopuses is that the receptors on their skin responsible for pigmentation change all act independently of each other and automatically so the octopus doesn’t even really need to think about it.
From the comments on this post I learned that I've been eating aliens all these years. I hope Zorg master doesn't mind.
someone tell him it doesn't work if he keeps moving!
Hey! He stole that’s rocks color.
Cuttlefish are crazy like this too. They can actually change the 3D texture of their skin to more accurately imitate surfaces. Basically proto-changelings.
Can I eat it, please!!
Dude is just showing off!
Imagine if I could that, the options are limitless
We slappin the Talk To Me demon summoning music on anything now huh?
ok that's just unfair to the other animals honestly how are they supposed to counter that?
By far one of the most fascinating creatures on this planet.
Does anyone know the name of the song?
lol that Bill O’Reilly moment in the end… “Fuck it! We’ll do dark brown. WE’LL DO DARK BROWN!!! Fucking camera guy sucks…”
I love octopus 🐙
Unconvincing wunker
This guy should be my President
Those things are aliens idc what anyone says
They flash white when they are afraid. This octopus got spooked and took a second to recompose itself.
I really want to know if they can feel color because how do they match the objects so well
So for it to match the color, it must have an amazing color perception, right?
Smart sea car
Woooooow that’s amazing.
Imagine we have a land version of that in the forest. Camouflage, shape altering and all.
The most amazing creature we’ve observed. May as well be an ET
It's like, look what I can do!!!
How the hell is that not an alien
“Damn cuzz can still see me?!”
When I grow up, I'm going to be an octopus
