Is it a fish? Is it a snake? Is it a furry running turkey? No, it’s the amazing mimic octopus!
We’ve seen cephalopods like the cuttlefish blend into their surroundings before, but this octopus takes the art of mimicry to a whole new level. Rather than simply disappearing into his environment, he pretends to be other animals.
After all, if you’re a poisonous sea snake or lion fish, chances are the other sea creatures are going to steer clear. I’m not quite sure what that running turkey get-up is in aid of, but it’s also pretty impressive!
Perhaps he’s just getting ready for Thanksgiving?
