Masters Of Camouflage: The Cuttlefish

#MostAmazingSeaCreatures #AnimalsCamouflage #Underwater #BeyondTheWaterSurface
My second favorite sea creature, after the octopus, is a cuttlefish. It has same abilities to change both skin color and skin texture to mimic reef surface underneath, but it displays more like a fish behavior, but as part of the squid family, it has a jet system for moving and to circulate the water, it can "walk" on a bottom, using it tentacles and it can sleeps completely barred in the sand. It's not as flexible as the octopus, but if it's not moving, it is as good in camouflaging itself with a chance for you to miss it. Cuttlefish are absolutely harmless to humans, fan to watch and very cute. Usually, when I watched them, they stay on the same reef area, they are very territorial and they have tendency to flash colors and leave when they feel threaten, but as they get comfortable they always come back to their favorite spot... and as I've seen, they choose the best spot on the reef.

The footage was shot in Lembeh Strait, Indonesia, music recorded using LMM Studio.
