The Miraculous Octopus
This week join Roger Billings and the Science Live crew in an exploration of one of nature’s most remarkable creatures: the octopus!
We’ll learn about the octopus’s remarkable camouflage abilities and the science that allows them to change color and texture in as little as 200 milliseconds. Did you know they have no backbone and not one, but three hearts! Discover more fascinating facts and fun stories about these remarkably intelligent creatures.
This episode also includes updates on Acellus World – a new cyber school program, and don’t miss the hilarious segment where R51 attempts — with mixed results — to train an octopus named Octagon.

The fact that they can blend in and change color. I thought at the start, how does the process even work? Imagine the needs for the octopus to change their cell structure or change color. Very confusing.
An Octopus is a weird but interesting creature.
They should make a video about the family Cnirida and how the members of that classification are single celled
