Episode description
Having one physical form is so last year. Why not disguise yourself as anyone and anything like the mimic octopus!
We answer questions about this stealthy cephalopod, such as what kinds of sea creatures can it mimic? How does it adapt to specific predators? If an octopus were to do a split, what would that look like? How is their mimicry used in predation?
