Tapeworm wins! YAy! I think....
Now, which one has beeter camoflauge? http://www.kudalaut.com/biology/Hystrio.jpg A Sargassum Fish Vs. A Cuttlefish http://www.ticam.utexas.edu/~pgm/div...cuttlefish.jpg Fyis to help with your decisions. Sargassum fish have details that make them look EXACTLY like the Sargasso Seaweed they live in (they are related to Angler FIsh) Cuttlefish have Chromatophors, which are skin cells fille dwith color that are directly linked to their brain. they can change into color patterns more complex than a human can create, and can even change their skin texture to mimic their background. They are also at least as smart as a dog. |
s'true .. i was snorkling in Cuba an 3 of the goofy little buggers were swimming right along side of me .. the exact colour of the sand ... i just though thats what colour they were.
good eatin too ! |
Not only has the cuttlefish got the ability to camouflage by colour almost instantly, it can do so over multiple textures and surfaces, while moving.
Also, there is NO better mimic than the cuttlefish....well, not in the sea anyway. Stick insects and those thorn shaped moths/bugs that look like leaves n shit would probably be a close second, but none of them are remotely as "versatile"... This thing can immitate other fish in motion ,for fucks sake. No contest. |
