An octopus can change both its colour and texture in seconds.
Using specialised skin cells called chromatophores, it can instantly blend into rocks, coral, or sand - not just by colour, but by making its skin look bumpy or smooth too.
It’s one of the most advanced camouflage systems in the animal world, helping octopuses hide from predators and sneak up on prey.
