Halloween Clip Art: Octopus

Every year I throw a highly-designed Halloween family party. This year's inspiration is Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, and the palette for all the decorations will be black, white, and a range of grays, blues, and greens.

I've been sketching sea creatures for the invitations and decorations, and I'm really loving octopi right now.

Scifri Videos: Where's The Octopus?

This octopus visually identifies both the surface texture and the pattern of its environment - and then changes its skin to match in less than a second! I keep watching this video by marine biologist Roger Hanlon in complete awe. (The rest of the Science Friday site is pretty awesome as well.)
