Ruby Seadragon We wear red when we want to stand out, but for the ruby seadragon, "it's a camouflaging tactic at depth,” says Josefin Stiller, who helped film the dragon for the first time recently in western Australia. (Related: "Rare Ruby Seadragon Caught on Video for the First Time.") Because "red is the first color of the spectrum that gets filtered out," underwater, these fish appear black, helping them hide from predators, says Stiller, a graduate student at the University of California, San Diego. Their masquerade is likely why they don't have the same leaf-shaped camouflage appendages the leafy seadragon and common or weedy seadragon blend in. Also unlike their cousins, ruby seadragon males carry their babies—but under their tails, not in their bellies. #info #EverythingsInfo
