In unbelievable deep sea footage shown at oceanographer David Gallo's TED talk, an octopus is shown changing shape, color and texture to camouflage itself into a bed of coral. Much like boisterous rapper, Eve, this Octopus will "blow ya mind."

This is unbelievable! It was also worth it purely for the cheesy audience clapping and "sounds of awe". You'd think the guy was a magician.

@Daniel Barnum-Swett: Watch the whole video and check out the squid's sick moves too. He doesn't want his lady squid to think he's a prick.
