    http://www.todaysbigthing.com/2010/10/29 Amazing, no? It's called a mimic octopus and it can change color and shape to mimic other sea creatures. It also appears to be quite intelligent.

    According to the video, they were discovered in the 90's, so not exactly a new discovery.

    very amazing o_O havn't seen it before and it's so amazing that there are so many deep sea creatures that havn't been discovered yet no this one as an example cause it's been discovered when? 1990? something like that ^^ but still very cool especially the running turkey xDD

    is it really shapeshifting though? it can change its texture and color, but its not like it can grow an extra tentacle or something...

    Zombo it cant physically change it's texture can it? And whether or not its technically shapeshifting........that turkey shit was tight.

    I guess it's the closest to shape-shifting that we can find on earth. It just cleverly places its tentacles in a series or folds and bends and locks it in that position.
