They have the ability to the texture of their skin. They get to choose if they want their skin bumpy or smooth. They are able to do this with their skin by controlling their muscles. Another way they camouflage is by changing the way they move. For example, if an octopus wanted to camouflage into a rock, they would fold their legs and change colors and swims to mimic the waves pushing a rock throughout the ocean. The final way they camouflage is changing their skin color to blend in with something. They are able to do this because they have special cells in their skin that is filled with different colors. They change their colors by making the color cells bigger or smaller just by stretching or relaxing their muscles. ]]> 2021-04-15 17:18:03 UTC https://padlet.com/s7sjjdsh8v/sz7k5wvteog8kj81/wish/1422197096 s7sjjdsh8v https://padlet.com/s7sjjdsh8v/sz7k5wvteog8kj81/wish/1422323853 They camouflage to avoid predators. They are able to blend into the ocean floor, coral, plants, rocks, and more when they feel they are near predators and feel they are in danger. This is the way an octopus can protect themselves. ]]> 2021-04-15 17:41:34 UTC https://padlet.com/s7sjjdsh8v/sz7k5wvteog8kj81/wish/1422323853 s7sjjdsh8v https://padlet.com/s7sjjdsh8v/sz7k5wvteog8kj81/wish/1429018207 2021-04-18 02:10:51 UTC https://padlet.com/s7sjjdsh8v/sz7k5wvteog8kj81/wish/1429018207 s7sjjdsh8v https://padlet.com/s7sjjdsh8v/sz7k5wvteog8kj81/wish/1429048898 Chromatophores are cells that change colors.

This can also help them survive and reproduce as well. ]]> 2021-04-18 03:08:32 UTC https://padlet.com/s7sjjdsh8v/sz7k5wvteog8kj81/wish/1429062301
