Nature as an animated pattern generator

By in Interactive, Opinió

My dad loves fishing, and lately he’s been getting into squid fishing.
Last weekend he got quite a big one, 70 cm!

Calamar-1

That’s not so cool on its own, but calamari skin is. I know they can change their skin “color”, but I had no idea they could do it even after dead! And never had a chance to see it from so close up; Such a beautiful patterns!

    A fascinating public television production about cuttlefish, which can do this even better than the squid: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/camo/
