- Octopuses and cuttlefish are masters of underwater camouflage, blending in seamlessly against a rock or coral. But squid have to hide in the open ocean, mimicking the subtle interplay of light, water, and waves. How do they do it? (And it is NOT OCTOPI)

--- How do squid change color?
For an animal with such a humble name, market squid have a spectacularly hypnotic appearance. Streaks and waves of color flicker and radiate across their skin. Other creatures may posses the ability to change color, but squid and their relatives are without equal when it comes to controlling their appearance and new research may illuminate how they do it.
To control the color of their skin, cephalopods use tiny organs in their skin called chromatophores. Each tiny chromatophore is basically a sac filled with pigment. Minute muscles tug on the sac, spreading it wide and exposing the colored pigment to any light hitting the skin. When the muscles relax, the colored areas shrink back into tiny spots.
--- Why do squid change color?
Octopuses, cuttlefish and squid belong to a class of animals referred to as cephalopods. These animals, widely regarded as the most intelligent of the invertebrates, use their color change abilities for both camouflage and communication. Their ability to hide is critical to their survival since, with the exception of the nautiluses, these squishy and often delicious animals live without the protection of protective external shells.
But squid often live in the open ocean. How do you blend in when there's nothing -- except water -- to blend into? They do it by changing the way light bounces off their their skin -- actually adjust how iridescent their skin is using light reflecting cells called iridophores. They can mimic the way sunlight filters down from the surface. Hide in plain sight.
Iridophores make structural color, which means they reflect certain wavelengths of light because of their shape. Most familiar instances of structural color in nature (peacock feathers, mother of pearl) are constant-they may shimmer when you change your viewing angle, but they don't shift from pink to blue.

Ivo Temelkov so you have one
What do you call a group of Squids?
A Squad.
Good one

LUCAS NEIRA 7867 2019 🤐
best pun ever
When she mentioned how we can breathe automatically or by thinking about it, I became conscious of my breathing and had to manually control it -_- I can't be the only one this happened to?
same 😂😂
yes😑
Yeah, it felt so uncomfortable
-_- why. It had been 5 months and you made it happen again.
Triple Layer Animator I'll be after you, reminding you every half year :p
This is beautiful, but I feel bad for the squid who got snipped :(
Seriously.
Cutting the nerves on your foot would also mutilate you for life, that's where the original commenter was going. She's saying the squid had to be seriously wounded in order to complete the study.
i found you deep down in the comment section. yeah, we are few apparently. i am so sad for the squid.
Same!🙁
Oh say can you see...
Science must move forward somehow
I'm surprised the US military hasn't dumped money into R&D for camouflage based on octopus.
Who says they haven't?
They realistically have.
Play Metal Gear Solid 4, or look up a RUclips video on it.
Who do you think gives these scientists the money to pay their salaries to do something so unprofitable like cutting squid open "just to see." All research is funded as some sort of investment, whether its medical or defense related. Very few things are done out of kindness or in search of knowledge without some sort of return on investment. You can 100 percent guarantee that some DARPA scientist is sitting around reading the reports and trying to connect the dots on the primary research that determines its viability for military camouflage technology.
@OSKSNAKE As a scientist, I can tell you that you are incorrect.
A country's government has a budget for scientific research. This amount of money is divided to various governmental bodies that deal with an aspect of scientific research. For example in Canada, 2 of the big ones are NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council) and CIHR (Canadian Institutes of Health Research). Scientists write grant proposals to apply to grants by explaining how the funds will be used and what for. If you are doing research in something that can benefit humans (like it can lead to some kind of therapy), then you apply for CIHR. If it is a project that looks at how some particular mechanism works, then you apply for NSERC (just knowledge that perhaps in the future someone will use to write CIHR grant for). Some private companies can invest into research (like the military for example) as well but not all do.
I'm working on a project that is funded by a NSERC grant, which tries to identify how the brain changes in old age (im vulgarizing it but anyway). I'm not looking for a therapy or anything. Some of the most amazing research that has given us answers to how human brains work came from studies that had no relation to humans whatsoever and were simply looking to understand how squids, sea slugs & other animals "worked"
This channel is mesmerizing. Definitely recommend this to some friends
Thank you!

Is it octopi or octopuses
+Koa Arnold octopuses
I once heard that even blind squid will have their skin adapt its color... so I don't know why they had to snip one of the brain nerves.
Why did I find this in a Splatoon playlist?

*trypophobia has entered the chat*
I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY ME SMFNDBCK
DEAR GOD THAT IS _GROSS_
Me to I have trypophobia
that wasn’t even bad
This video made me go look up the etymology of "Octopuses". TIL: The original pluralization was Octopodes, then was incorrectly changed to Octopi because of the belief the word was Latin in origin, when it actually is Greek, and now Octopuses has become so widely used in texts it is the accepted replacement for Octopodes!
+Roulette As you might have guessed, we had several conversations about the correct plural of octopus.
+Roulette Octopuses if you're talking about multiple species of octopus, octopi if
you're referring to multiple of the same species. This isn't set in
stone, but it's the most accepted.
+Scotty Catman oh for pete's sake! the use of octopuses was driving me nuts. thanks :}
thank god I'm not the only one who hears a word then has to look up it's etymology and origin
We should probably start a support group..
Your a kid now your a squid now

Love how your pro-pic matches your title
Is it sad that I've never seen a squid in real life? I've also never seen a cuttlefish before
+SpidearPlays Until recently I'd never seen a live squid before either. They're apparently very tricky to keep in an aquarium so we don't even see them there very often.

cuttlefish are so cute
More like *cuddle*fish amirite? ;D

But they can also be a Revenge of the Fallen Jetfire stereotype
i was watching splatoon videos, how did i end up here?
Linzzy Rabbit
Because squids and kids.
i have also arrived here via splatoon videos. Woomy.
WOOMY
ngyes!
OCTOPI I THOUGHT IT WAS OCTOPI
Both are acceptable.
It is octopi and none other.
It is octopuses, check the oxford dictionary.
Octopods
Ocotopi assumes that octopus is a Latin word. The problem is, it's not, it's a Greek word. Octopodes would be the "correct" pluralization. However, that doesn't work well in English, so the correct English plural is octopuses. Octopi is generally accepted, but it's definitely not right.
Awesome work. (And impeccable lighting on those squid!)
+Johanna Varner Thank you, I had a very competent and highly educated light stand. Don't be a stranger!

You are kid now, you are squid now...... Wait a second this is not splatoon

Cuttlefish are awesome
they're like.... octopus, mixed with squid, mixed with a tiny chthulu. And a frog :L Cause they have kinda tongue things they use to catch food
I know right? They're adorable ^u^ probably one of my favorite undersea animals along with jellyfish and octopodes.
I know, I know, no one says "octopodes," but I do because I like it better than "octopuses" and if I say "octopi" I'll be told it's incorrect.
amazing video! Thanks for the high quality stuff! It's nice being off school for a full year and still learning about these things that i use to like.

Amazing video! May I ask why these videos aren't uploaded in 60 frames per second, though? It's sort of a shame that such high quality footage is limited to 30 despite RUclips's recent integration of 60 fps uploads.
+F255123 Hi, I shoot Deep Look at 30P so I don't think uploading at 60 would be possible. Maybe in the future if we upgrade our 4k camera. Thanks for your comment.
I saw a video about how octopuses have brain cells distributed throughout their bodies, a trait that allows them to solve problems more easily. Maybe this is similar, where the brain cells in the cut off part eventually learned how to camouflage without the command of the central brain. Or the synapse regenerated, though I'm not sure if they can. Maybe shine lights on it and see if the reaction time or resulting change is different between the two sides.
Your photomicrography is fantastic! I operated one of the first high speed video cameras ever...the Kodak Spin Physics system. I used a laser to light the subject; I perfected the manufacture of 14" rigid Winchester disks for Dysan (late '80s) I could not shoot animals or anything else that the necessary lighting power would destroy. The sensors are SO MUCH BETTER now...mine was monochrome. (sigh)
I met Doc Edgerton when I was a kid. My uncle worked with him at Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey. He gave my life direction. I'll watch your discoveries with great interest.
