Celebrate
#WorldOctopusDay with one of the deep sea’s most charming and unusual creatures: the dumbo octopus! 🐙
Named after the Disney character Dumbo, these deep-sea cephalopods use their large ear-like fins and webbed arms to help them swim through the dark water — an unusual means of travel for octopuses, which typically rely on jet propulsion to move.
And “dumbo octopus” isn’t just one species. It actually refers to 18 different species found in deep seas around the world.
