So, we're learning lots new from the shallow water.
我們從淺海中學到了很多新東西。
Still exploring the deep, but learning lots from the shallow water.
繼續來探索下深海領域，同時從淺海中學到很多新東西。
There's a good reason why: the shallow water's full of predators -- here's a barracuda
這有個原因來解釋：在淺海里，到處都是捕獵者。這是條梭魚。
and if you're an octopus or a cephalopod, you need to really understand how to use your surroundings to hide.
如果你是條章魚或是頭足類動物的話，你確實需要知道怎么利用周圍的環境來隱藏自己。
In the next scene, you're going to see a nice coral bottom.
下個畫面里，你可以看到一個美麗的珊瑚。
And you see that an octopus would stand out very easily there if you couldn't use your camouflage,
你會發現，一條章魚如果不進行偽裝，極易被發現。
use your skin to change color and texture.
偽裝是改變你皮膚的顏色和紋理。
Here's some algae in the foreground -- and an octopus. Ain't that amazing?
前面這里有些海藻，還有一條章魚。難道不神奇么？
Now, Roger spooked him, so he took off in a cloud of ink, and when he lands, the octopus says,
不過現在，顯然Roger（攝影師）嚇到了它，它馬上釋放煙霧彈--墨水來掩護逃脫。當它停下來，會想，
"Oh, I've been seen. The best thing to do is to get as big as I can get."
“啊，我被發現了，那我最好變到最大來保護下自己。”
That big brown makes his eyespot very big. So, he's bluffing. Let's do it backwards.
那片棕色讓它的眼睛看起來十分大。它在唬人。讓我們看一次倒放。
I thought he was joking when he first showed it to me. I thought it was all graphics.
我第一次看到的時候還以為他在開玩笑呢。我以為是電腦特效。
So here it is in reverse. Watch the skin color; watch the skin texture.
讓我們看看倒放。注意看它皮膚的顏色以及皮膚的紋理。
Just an amazing animal, it can change color and texture to match the surroundings.
多么神奇的動物，可以改變自己的顏色和質地來變得和背景一樣。
Watch him blend right into this algae. One, two, three.
看它消失在海藻中。一，二，三。
And now he's gone, and so am I. Thank you very much.
它不見了，我也該下去了。謝謝大家！
