From the Brants Behind Brants on, this is Moment of Um.

Moment of Um comes to you from APM Studios. I'm Sandin Totten.

Master of Disguise.

There's a long list of things that I'm super good at.

Gardening, giving dogs nicknames, eating cookies, being super handsome and funny, blah, blah, blah.

The list goes on and on.

But one thing you might not know about me is that I'm really good at hiding in plain sight.

Yeah, I have a whole room full of costumes in Brains-on headquarters.

I've disguised myself as everything, from a rosebush to a rug to a recliner.

I've hoodwinked all of my Brains-on buddies at least once, but there's still so much to learn.

From nature. So many animals have incredible

disguises called camouflage that helps them look like their surroundings. This lets them practically

disappear from sight. So cool. And one of the coolest camo critters out there is the octopus.

I've been trying to learn their secrets for ages.

I'm not the only one.

Henry was curious, too.

How do octopuses blend in with their environment?

Octopuses are a type of animal that fall within a group called cephalopods.

My name is Sarah McAnulty.

I am a science communicator and a squid biologist.

These animals have different skin layers that are able to change color.

And the way this works is the top layer has these little spheres called chromatophores.
