6 Tips for Achieving Invisibility

How to hide? It's a common question among animals. Hiding from danger in the deep sea is a very different game than hiding from danger on land. In the sea, not only does a creature have nothing to hide behind, it can’t even camouflage itself, because it’s environment is just clear water. Not suprisingly, many animals of the sea have evolved ways of being transparent. In the above video you will see six examples of organisms that become invisible to others, or at least to those who might want to eat them. CreatureCast alum Sophia Tintori has captured the beauty and awe of these animals in this delightful video. Sit back, enjoy, and witness the invisible superpowers.
