    In the final episode of Richard Hammond’s Miracles Of Nature, Richard is once again investigating the extraordinary super-powers of the animal kingdom and discovering how a multitude of amazing creatures are inspiring inventions at the very forefront of science.
    From the chilly climes of Sweden to the warmer shores of San Diego, Richard is once again on a global search to unearth remarkable creatures that have evolved with unique super-powers; along the way he’ll play predator to a tank full of Hagfish prey and fly above the pacific in search of migrating Humpback whales. He’ll also devise entertaining scientific experiments which will in turn explain the extraordinary workings of each of these phenomenal creatures’ specific capabilities.

      The process you refer to is called convergent evolution. It’s basically when two unrelated animals evolve to look or act extremely similar because they are put under similar evolutionary pressures. The “zebra stripes” are a pattern that have evolved many different times in nature amongst reptiles, fish, insects, and mollusks alike.

    I did a very similar experiment back in college, trying to see the difference between cuttlefish and flounder color change ability.
    The only thing I found out from the experiments is that cuttlefish have attitudes and will actively work against you if you annoy them in any way. Instead of even trying to change to the checkerboard, the cuttlefish spent the entire time staring straight at me flashing red and yellow... then he shot ink out of the water at me. -_-

      The rage of a cuttle is not to be tampered with.

    A cuttlefish could be a decorator’s best friend in helping them bring a room together with examples of the various colors it uses to blend in.
