Have you ever seen a sea creature than can flash like a disco
strobe light over its ENTIRE BODY? :o
Watch these kings of camouflage in action. Of course they can
blend in with their surroundings to trap prey but when they
DON'T want to blend, such as when they mate or when they want to
"mesmerize" their prey, they can put on quite a show!

It turns out they are extremely intelligent too. This drives
scientists up a wall because a short lived creature such as this
one doesn't seem to have had the time to "evolve" such high
order thinking. This creature, as you will see above. has
demonstrated the ability to learn quite quickly and adjust its
behavior accordingly..
I AGREE

that
this wonder of the ocean, the cuttlefish, certainly DID NOT have
time to "evolve". ;)
There is even a teeny tiny species of cuttlefish that puts on a
show ALL the time instead of trying to hide. Scientists
discovered why it is so seemingly fearless. It's quite pretty
too. Enjoy the show!

[center]The snow leopard's ability to blend in with its
surroundings is legendary. It even earned the cat its most
famous nickname, Ghost of the Mountain.[/center]
“Perhaps people started calling this cat Snow Leopard because
the few times anyone would spot one, it would have been crossing
a snow field”, says Dr. Justine Shanti Alexander, Regional
Ecologist with the Snow Leopard Trust. “But Rock Leopard would
be a more appropriate name, because that’s where they are most
at home.”

[center]Praying Mantises - The Kung Fu Killers of the Insect
Kingdom[/center]

Published on Nov 19, 2018
They are killers. They kill with unbelievable precision. They
fight Kung Fu style and are seen in Japan as a symbol of
vigilance - the mantises. Their triangular head with its unique
flexibility is conspicuous. Two overdimensioned eyes fixate the
distance to their prey rapidly and three-dimensionally. The
chest segment of the mantis is prolonged and equipped with spiny
appendages that can spear their prey as fast as a jack knife.
The mysterious aura that surrounds the praying mantis has a lot
to do with the fact that they are rarely seen. They have adapted
to their surroundings perfectly. No matter whether leaves,
blossoms, tree bark, sandy floors or even orchids - the mantis
adjusts to all environments.
We observe mantises with our cameras whilst they are hunting,
when they shed their skin and whilst breeding and eventually the
females practicing their cannibalism. We were also on hand when
the female produces a nest of foam on which to lay her eggs; all
filmed with time lapse and real-time cameras. A film, that
comprehensively documents the secret life of the mantises for
the very first time and provides us with unique footage thanks
to state of the art equipment.
