Octopuses are among the few creatures in the animal kingdom that can change color. They change their skin tone using numerous color-changing cells called chromatophores located just below the surface of the skin. Typically, they do this to hide from predators, but they may also do it to communicate with each other.
A new video from PBS now shows an octopus named Heidi changing color while she is (possibly) dreaming. Watch the cool video clip narrated by Dr. David Scheel here:
What do you think she is dreaming about?

Hi there! I’m Aaram, the founder of Sciencera. I grew up in the beautiful city of Thiruvananthapuram in the Southern part of India, famous for its pristine beaches. Now, I am a scientific writer based in Indianapolis. When I am not busy procrastinating on my writing, poring through research articles, or coming up with grand ideas to save the planet, I love playing soccer and chess. I read a bit and write sporadically when caffeinated to the right amount. I am passionate about scientific research, writing, and outreach activities.
