A 2010 The Texas Observer cover story, titled The Golden Football: The University of Texas Bad Examplee, opens with a two-paragraph reference to Tunis' article, and concludes by referring the reader back to Tunis' 1928 description of college football as a "first-class octopus strangling the legitimate pursuits of educational institutions".
So a couple of mid-ocean-dwelling cephalopods the animal class including octopuses and squids—have come up with a flexible strategy: Start out transparent, but change colors when certain predators come around.
The optic gland of the octopus (of the class Cephalopoda) influences development of the reproductive organs on a seasonal basis.

Most contigs from Octopus have substantial oligonucleotide similarity with the archaeal Genus Pyrobaculum (Additional file 2), which also belongs to the Class Thermoprotei.
