Some examples of animals that can change color include:
-
Chameleons: Chameleons are well-known for their ability to change color to blend in with their surroundings or to communicate with other chameleons.
-
Cuttlefish: Cuttlefish can rapidly change color and texture to camouflage themselves or to communicate with other cuttlefish.
-
Octopuses: Octopuses can change color and texture to blend in with their environment or to display aggression or submission.
-
Flounders: Flounders are flatfish that can change color to match the seabed they are resting on, allowing them to effectively camouflage themselves.
-
Anemone shrimp: Anemone shrimp can change color to match the colors of the sea anemones they live in, providing them with camouflage and protection.
These animals have developed the ability to change color as a form of camouflage, communication, or defense mechanism in their environments.
