Cephalopods are quick-change artists. Like a living LCD screen, their skin can flicker and flash, or create complex patterns for camouflage and communication. Layers of specialized skin cells interact to match the environment’s color and texture.

You can see the largest, most diverse living exhibit of cephalopods ever created in our special exhibition Tentacles: The Astounding Lives of Octopuses, Squid and Cuttlefishes.
