Many animals have the ability to change their color and camouflage. There are many reasons they do it which include: to avoid danger, hunt, or attract a mate. In each of these cases, watching animals camouflage is impressive and shows us how amazing nature can be.

Diver and videographer Eric Desmet recently went for a diving session in Sumatra, Indonesia and managed to bring back an amazing video that features an octopus camouflaging.

The video shows an octopus swimming between rocks and changing shapes and colors, attempting to blend into the surrounding. After changing its color from bright to dark several times, this clever sea creature realizes that the diver has no intention of harming her and proceeds to swim away peacefully.
