Mimic octopus імітує морських тварин в індо тихоокеанському регіоні

The mimic octopus is a species located in the Indo-Pacific region that disguises itself by impersonating other marine animals. It has many adaptations that have allowed it to successfully mimic other creatures, such as its shape-shifting ability, which involves flattening its body and changing the position of its arms in order to look like a flounder.

However, it is not only their appearance that tricks animals that pass by, as they're also masters at behavioural mimicry, and are able mimic the movements of species such as sea snakes or the venomous lionfish! 🐙 🦑
