Check out this video of the Indonesian Mimic Octopus, first discovered off the coast of Sulawesi in Indonesia. This octopus is able to copy the shape of many different underwater animals, including a sea snake, lion fish and flounder. Able to change colour, shape and even behaviour, this highly intelligent creature apparently can mimic over 15 different species! I hope to scuba dive Indonesia some day, and this would definitely be a highlight...
