Perhaps no animal is better at
adapting to color and camouflage than the squid. Their skin’s
iridescence, which is it's light-reflecting property, is responsible for
the range of rainbow-like colors they display.
However, just how they do this is still
unknown! It is believed that the nerves in the squid’s skin control the
range of colors they are able to display, which vary from red to blue at
any given time.
Within the skin, one set of nerves, which are actually organs, create patterns of yellow, red, and brown.
Under these colors, cells in the skin
help reflect light and add blue, green, and pink. Together they create a
majestic and hypnotic sight! But no matter how impressive, humans
cannot figure out how they do it!
