I wish I could camouflage myself so well. I’d go to work every day and blend into the background by looking just like a bloke sitting at a desk, tapping away on a computer. No-one would ever suspect.

the vid says the Octopus can’t see color. And wikipedia says they can see light polarization. They can still match color when camouflaged tho. I thought color was a function of the wavelength & polarization is about the plane in which the wave travels. so are they detecting color under water because each color has a certain polarized signature???

change narrators in the middle of a sentence?
Not just once, but
over and over again?
Why was that necessary?
