Cuttlefish are the 'chameleon' of the sea.They can rapidly change their skin color seemingly instantly. These chromatic shifters can not only change their skin color and patterns, but they can actually change the polarization of reflected light. Cuttlefishes use these 'morphing' traits to camouflage themselves and to warn off predators. Some have even speculated this master of disguise can use its abilities to 'hypnotize' its pray, which is mostly crabs. ............................................................................................................................................................... #science #nature #animals #gifs #luculentgif
