The Amazing Technicolor Blanket

Divers know that underneath the surface of the sea is a vibrant world teeming with life. One of the inhabitants of that marine universe is the blanket octopus. Night divers in the Lembeh Straight, off the coast of Indonesia, captured the creature unfurling its colorful cape-like web in a video that North Sulawesi’s NAD Lembeh Resort shared with the site The Kid Should See This. See the stunning footage, as well as other clips of a blanket octopus near Romblon Island in the Philippines, at thekidshouldseethis.com/post/the-blanket-octopus
