Dumbo

The dumbo octopus got its name due to its prominent ear-like fins that help propel it slowly through the water. (And yes, it is named after the fictional flying figure!) There are a whopping 17 recognized species of dumbo octopuses in the genus Grimpoteuthis. They are a group of umbrella octopuses, which means they have webbed skin connecting their tentacles that gives them a bell shape.

Though it is believed that the dumbo octopus could be living worldwide, species have been found off the coast of California, Oregon and in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as Australia, the Azores, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and New Zealand. Much remains to be known about this elusive, endearing creature because it lives at nearly immeasurable depths. 041b061a72
