This individual is showing off one of the most incredible camouflage adaptations in the animal kingdom. Thanks to specialized cells in their skin, the European common cuttlefish is able to change its shape, texture and color patterning to seamlessly blend into the surrounding environment. In addition to acting as camouflage, the cuttlefish can also expand and contract the structures in their skin in order to communicate with other cuttlefish or predators.
