Deep in the ocean, residing in eternal darkness, is the dumbo octopus (of the genus Grimpoteuthis), a creature that few humans have seen face-to-face. When someone is lucky sufficient to identify one, they're often captivated by its charms. The whimsical octopod - with big eyes and two distinguished, ear-like fins - acquired its identify from Disney’s beloved flying elephant with floppy ears. When dumbo octopuses prolong their arms - that are linked with webbing - they'll put on a show, puffing into a billowy type that looks like an umbrella. It is the deepest-living octopus, believed to dwell in depths of 9,800 to 13,000 ft (3,000 to 4,000 meters) under the floor, in frigid, inky darkish waters. In 2020, two dumbo octopuses have been found at depths of more than 20,000 toes (6,one hundred meters), within the hadal zone, the deepest a part of the ocean. They have been noticed by researchers on the Five Deeps Expedition, investigating the Indian Ocean's Java Trench. To capture photos, the research staff used a special deep-sea digicam, designed by chief scientist Alan Jamieson, PhD.
