Re: the ultimate ghillie-suit

Re: the ultimate ghillie-suit

I remember seeing that a while back on another forum, and a debate quickly started over whether the footage was "edited" or not. What do you think? It seems a bit much to me. I can accept an octopus being able to change its color, but its texture? And to that degree? I'm a little skeptical.

Re: the ultimate ghillie-suit

<shrug> seems pretty real to me - i don't think the texture is actually changing, just the color...

Re: the ultimate ghillie-suit

I'm not a zoologist or underwater animaloligist so it looks cool to me.

If the movie weren't from ebaum, you'd probably be able to find out more about the critter.

Re: the ultimate ghillie-suit

I'm pretty sure it's real. If you go watch a Discovery channel (or PBS or something) show then you can see stuff like that. They change color really fast. Cuddlefish are like that too. It's pretty amazing.

Re: the ultimate ghillie-suit

Not fake.. It's real.. pretty well documented to.. looks straight out of SciFi.

But it's very, very real.. and very, very cool..
