Erm... No.

Hello! Welcome to my secret hideout.

I'm just looking for a matching pair of socks,

for my adventure tomorrow. All I can find are odd socks.

It would be really handy if I could change the colour

of one of them. Now, I know it sounds like magic,

but there are lots of animals that can change colour. No, really.

Some animals are so good at changing colour that they can use it

for camouflage, so we could have an animal right here in the hideout,

trying to camouflage itself, and we'd never know. Hey, look!

Do you know what this is? It's a Yemen chameleon.

These guys are masters at changing colour.

They don't just try and camouflage themselves,

they change colour to communicate with each other.

And chameleons aren't the only ones. Let's take a look in my bucket.

This strange animal is called a cuttlefish.

They can change colour AND they can make funny patterns.

They do this to warn other cuttlefish away,

or even find a mate.

"Hey, get out of here, man! No, not you. You can stay, man."

Another master of the underwater world is the mimic octopus.

Not only can it change colour, but it can also change shape.

Come on, let's take a look.

Here it is, pretending to be a flatfish swimming across the sand.

"I can't be an octopus, I'm all flat. See?"

And now it's pretending to look like a sea snake.

"Nothing to see here, I'm just a sea snake, going about its business.

"Definitely not an octopus. I'm a sea snake. You see? Snake."

That's better! Now, where was I?

Oh, yes, finding a matching pair of socks for tomorrow.

Hey, how did you get down here, little fella?

Oh, look!

Our chameleon friend has taught the socks how to change colour.

I've got one sock, two socks.

A pair of socks.

Perfect. Well, now my socks are sorted for tomorrow,

it's time for me to go to bed.

See you next time for another adventure here in my secret hideout.

Thanks. Night-night.

"Night-night, Andy. Sleep well."
