The Magic and Mystery of Squid Skin
What would you do if you could change the color of your skin to blend into the world around you?
Squids and octopuses are some of the best camouflage artists in the animal kingdom. Their skin is able to change color, pattern, and texture to help them stay safe. How are they able to do this? Deep Look takes us up close to check out what makes these creatures so remarkable!
Why It Matters
We live on an amazing planet filled with species all perfectly adapted to their surroundings. The diversity of species on this planet is one of our greatest assets as innovators. For nearly every problem there is out there, nature has found a way to solve it. And, spent millions of years testing the solution.
As we continue to make discoveries in biology and the natural sciences, it benefits ALL of us to learn about them.
Let's Talk About It
