Their skin works like a living display screen packed with millions of chromatophores or color-changing cells that let them match any background faster than you can blink. These ocean athletes can rocket through water at [--] mph - faster than any Olympic swimmer. But speed isn't their only talent: they're also brilliant problem solvers with complex cognitive abilities. Using flashing light displays to communicate and hunt squid combine brainpower with biological technology"

"Why so bubbly 🫧 These mesmerizing bubbles are thanks to methane seeping from cracks in Indonesia's seafloor.

"This pod of dolphins looks like they're doing a magic trick turning the ocean into a glowing blue when they jump. Filmed by photographer Jose Gravley (@joshg_photos) off the coast of Southern California this phenomenon occurs when the ocean is particularly warm calm and has excess nutrients creating an algae bloom. During the day the excess algae appear red and brown but at night they will glow a bright blue when agitated by waves or marine life such as dolphins"
