Hogfish, the chameleons of the ocean, can "see" with their skin even after they die, thanks to light-sensing cells beneath their colour-changing cells. These cells act like "internal Polaroid film" that captures the changes in their skin colour and helps them adjust it to match their environment. This remarkable ability could have implications for sensor technology and bio-inspired design. #hogfish #colourchange #biomimicry https://www.livescience.com/animals/fish/color-changing-hogfish-use-their-skin-to-see-themselves-even-after-theyre-dead?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FMind+and+Matter
