That is pretty damn amazing!
I have heard of them camoflauging, but never that good!

Isn't nature something special?

I have seen what they can do and they can "puker" there skin to look lumpy and can change the pigment in there skin aswell. Chanel 2 (SBS) had a doco on how smart the octopus is and what it can do.

It's real. They had that footage on the SBS doco Shane3 mentioned.

I never realised how smart Octopus are. They are an incredible creature.
