Ultra-black Fish

 Ultra-black fish, Ultra-black fish

hide in plain sight in the deepest sea.

So how does it work, this trickery,

their magic# invisibility?

Ultra-black fish, Ultra-black fish

have # melanin, just like human skin,

but pigment structures found within

are packed so tight –

like a # gumball machine –

That almost all light gets# trapped right in.

By taking a lesson from #fish-skin designs,

we could make up a # pigment, the right shape and size.

The #blackest of blacks would be our prize

for material science that tricks human eyes!
