I just saw a video of an octopus changing its colour to match the rocks near him. How is this information processed (I’m assuming that octopus saw the colour of the rock and then had its body change its colour)? Can they recognize and identify colours?
The documentary Life in Colour with David Attenborough is very interesting and mentions camouflage. They put a cuttlefish in tank with black & white tiles to see what they do when their environment is not natural. The little guy tried his best, it’s adorable.
