Adrian Ridgway, so am I - and as a result of evolution.

Same here, reading that chapter now 😂

Same again

[@flaviaferreira886]

So am I. How wonderful! Got to know about a great scientist through the work of another. Also, I have recently watched the documentary "My Octopus Teacher" and now I'm almost in tears once more.

[@adeerkhan1]

Amen to that!

And they're one of the most intelligent denizens of the deep to boot. Maybe it's just as well for us that they only naturally live at most five years.

[@carmenl163]

I find it a pity that the hysterical ROGER T. HANLON 2012 sign is covering a lot of the magic.

[@yusufvural9746]

Şu an ben de aynı bölümü okuyorum :)

[@KISHORENEDUMARAN]

fascinating

[@swfreeD]

remaining question is, they can only see black and white, how can they adjust themself to the background color?

[@ilyataytslin1934]

I met Roger Hanlon today and asked this very question. Turns out, cephalopods skin (not just octopuses) contains light-sensitive proteins called opsins, which color-vision animals including us normally have in their retinas. Dr. Hanlon said he experimended with one-eyed cuttlefish and completely blinded cuttlefish, and found that blinded cuttlefish still get the color of their surroundings correctly, but not the details.
