Title: QotW - 16.06.28 - If octopuses are colour blind, how can they camoflage?
Post by: thedoc on 28/06/2016 15:28:21

I've read that octopus are colour blind. If so, how can they so reliably match their background colours when they camouflage themselves? Also, they make coloured displays to each other, like red for aggression/anger.
