Just beneath this squid’s skin surface are thousands of color-changing cells called chromatophores.

Here's more on where this video came from: In the middle of a dock near an osprey nest, Drew @drchicone found this little squid. It was most likely dropped there by a bird. He shared with us that he immediately grabbed a bucket of water and submerged the squid. After that, it began this impressive color-changing display of its chromatophores, which are skin cells in cephalopods that allow them to change color, which Drew was able to capture in this quick video. The squid was returned to the ocean afterward.
