Octopuses have specialized cells called chromatophores that allow them to change color and texture to match their surroundings, making them masters of camouflage. They can also use their muscles to change the shape of their bodies to blend in with different backgrounds. Additionally, some octopuses can mimic the texture of objects like rocks or coral to further disguise themselves.
