Camouflage - See the Octopus

An Octopus can change its skin texture and color.

• It has fine control of its skin to control the bumpiness whereby it matches its skin dimensionality by sight.
• The squid skin has dots of chromatophores (=pigment-containing and light-reflecting organelles in cells), which can change shape to change the predominant skin color (each spot can expand its diameter up to 15 times). An Octopus is capable of creating color-match patterns although being color-blind.

Camouflage means fooling whatever is looking at you, which suggests that we are behind the 8-ball if we think the world looks like how we see it. There is much more information there and other animals see it very differently.
