Dive into the mysterious world of cuttlefish and learn how this strange and beautiful creature is a master of camouflage.

Squid, octopus and cuttlefish all have the ability to rapidly change their coloration to display brilliant colors in a fraction of a second to match their surroundings and quickly fade from view. Come learn how this intelligent shape-shifting master utilizes millions of cells known as chromatophores to emulate patterns and colors that help them hunt, communicate, avoid predators and more.

Join marine biologist Dr. Roger Hanlon for a fascinating look at their stunning colors, signaling patterns and their incredible adaptability for disguise.
