Critters of the Deep

ecologylives:

So my favourite animal is the octopus. They’re so weird but in a strange way so graceful! My favourite is probably the mimic octopus Thaumoctopus mimicus (image 3). It can change it’s colour and behaviour to replicate other sea creatures including giant crabs, stingrays and jellyfish and by doing this can evade predators. Pretty cool!

Also the top two are the blue-ringed octopus and the dumbo octopus if anyone was wondering.  c:
