Some of the comments in last week's Real or Not? suggested we ditch the same-old, same-old Scary Shark routine. So this week, we're going to mix it up a bit. Consequently, this week's Real or Not? is titled "Freakin' Fish: Frightening or Phony?" Here's the image:
Is it frightening (real)...or phony (not real)?
2. Cuttlefish.

9. Yup, it's a cuttlefish. The chromatophores give it away.

13. I think it looks like a circus clown. Heck, that sounds more probable than the moron who said it was an octopus.

18. Its the eye of a cuttlefish

19. Can't vote since a cuttlefish is real but not frightening and, as already pointed out, not a fish.

20. A Cuttlefish is an ambush predator and a master of disguise. Its skin is covered with special cells called chromatophores, iridophores and leucophores that reflect light in many different colours enabling the cuttlefish to blend into its background almost perfectly. Some say it's like a chameleon but it is far superior in its ability to change colour and even the texture of its skin!
