Octopuses are some of the most intelligent (and bizarre, at least from a human perspective) animals living in our tropical seas.
These cunning cephalopods are also the captains of camouflage. However, our scientists on the Great Barrier Reef are pretty good at spotting them – sometimes on camera 🎥
Happy #WorldOctopusDay 🙌🙌🐙🙌🙌
📸 All footage in this video is from the AIMS Long-term Monitoring Program (LTMP) team, who have spent the last 40 years collecting data and reporting on the condition of the Great Barrier Reef. (Not counting octopuses specifically, but certainly monitoring their home!)
