If you think an octopus is the only chameleon in the sea, you | Awesome Science

If you think an octopus is the only chameleon in the sea, you might not know about the pufferfish! Pufferfish camouflage by changing their color according to the environment around them.

Puffers change their color to a lighter or darker shade to match with their surroundings. Their left eye and right eye also help them to look in different directions, which means they can look at two things at the same time. These two features act as defense mechanisms to protect them from predators by seeing them from different directions or by puffing themselves up.

They also seem like moody fishes! Puffers have a wide range of color changes, depending on their mood and time of day.
