In the images, the presence of the animal becomes imperceptible when it is caught on a branch, but when it is brought into contact with the water, the octopus falls and becomes normal again.

The video shows the incredible camouflage technique of octopus with blue rings, when it is attached to a branch and takes its color, it becomes almost imperceptible to the users amazed by these images and made them viral.

As you can see in the pictures, the little animal blends perfectly into the branch, hanging on the end of the wood. It can only be discovered when the person who handled this branch submerged it into a glbad of water and the octopus broke loose and began to return to normal, showing its true colors.

He put a tender creature in his hand but did not realize how close he was to a tragedy

The blue-ring octopus is an animal that lives in the Indian and Pacific oceans and is extremely toxic and deadly.. He also has great camouflage virtues since he uses the chromatophores of his skin to camouflage himself when he feels threatened, rapidly changing color.

These "special" octopuses have a size similar to that of a golf ball, but still have the ability to hunt crab, hermit crab and shrimp. Despite his small size, he has a deadly poison, enough to kill more than 26 people in minutes and no antidote is known for its pungent effect.
