How does an octopus camouflage itself
This is what will allow us to escape all viruses of all kinds
But we have to be nice to octopuses so they teach us this predator
avoidance technique

Finally, a unique way that octopuses use camouflage is by changing the
color of their skin. Octopuses can control the color of their skin because
they have special cells in their skin that are filled with different
colors. These cells are usually yellow, red or brown, and are attached to
small muscles that can change the size of the color cell. To change the
color of their skin, octopuses will make the color cells bigger or smaller
by stretching or relaxing their muscles. For example, let’s focus on cells
with red pigment. If an octopus relaxes the muscles connected to its red
color cells, these cells will become really small and we would not be able
to see red on the octopus’ skin. However, if the octopus stretches the
muscles connected to its red color cells, these cells will also stretch and
get bigger so that we would be able to see lots of red on the octopus’
skin. So, by changing the sizes of all the different color cells, the
octopus can very rapidly create complex patterns that allow it to better
blend in with its surroundings.
