This — is how squids change color! ????✨
In the open ocean, they can’t hide behind rocks or coral, so they’ve evolved to become their surroundings. Their skin is covered in millions of color-changing cells called chromatophores, each one a tiny balloon of pigment that stretches or shrinks in an instant. Beneath them lies another layer of reflective cells that bend light into shimmering blues, greens, and silvers. Together, they let squids vanish, flash, or glow like neon signs — all in milliseconds. Even stranger? Their skin keeps changing colors without their brain. It’s like the skin itself can see.
