Summary
DescriptionPeacock Flounder Bothus mancus in Kona.jpg |
English: Peacock Flounder, Bothus mancus displaying its active camouflage abilities, changing colors depending on the colors of its surroundings. All frames are of the same fish taken few minutes apart. He changed colors to match his surroundings as I watched. In the last frame he buried himself in the sand. Almost nothing, but the eyes are seen.
Français : Le Turbot tropical est capable de changer de couleur pour se fonde dans le paysage. Ces quatre clichés sont des photos du même individu prises à quelques secondes d'intervalle. Dans les trois premières photos, l'animal change de couleur en un clin d'œil. Dans la quatrième, il s'est enterré dans le substrat et seuls ses yeux dépassent. |
