    I once visited a cave and the tour guide said something along the lines of there are bats insects and an endangered cave newt that calls this cave home and while you will likely see a bat or insect it is extremely unlikely to see a newt. To which i replied, "you mean one of those?" and immediately found one on the cave wall. I was incredibly proud lol

    Are there left and right faced flounders? Like when the eyes start to transition from opposite to same side, is it always one way or is it 50-50 which side will swap?

    That's a good question and the answer's not straightforward. There are several species of flounder. Some species lie mostly on their left side with the eyes on the right but some members do the reverse. Other flounders are the complete opposite i.e. most lie on the right with some on the left. As far as I know (and I'm not a marine biologist) all species have some variation.

    Great video of observation, Aranya. I would say that for me, the octopus takes the crown of camouflage because the fact that they have cells that helps them change not only their color, but their exterior to match perfectly in their surroundings is ingenuity as its finest. For those of you who know, there’s a character in the IDW comics of Sonic the Hedgehog who is a shapeshifter because it happens to be a cephalopod aptly named Mimic. Hence proving my point. 🐙

    Camouflage isn't just to hide from predators, but also from prey. Plenty of apex predators use camouflage as well because they don't want to frighten their prey away.
