Rare "Dumbo" Octopus Spotted On Deep Sea Livestream In Pacific Ocean

The octopus stunned a group of marine experts who underwent on a deep-sea exploratory mission.

An octopus with fins similar to a Disney cartoon character has been spotted in the north Pacific Ocean. The BBC said that the "Dumbo" octopus was seen in a broadcast on EVNautilus live stream, which is exploring the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument (PMNM). It was filmed by a deep sea camera installed on a remotely-operated Ocean Exploration Trust vehicle. The outlet said that the rare octopus lives at depths of up to 7,000 metres. Often called the cutest octopuses in the world, they have fins that look like huge ears of 'Dumbo the Elephant'.

Nautilus Live Ocean Exploration Trust posted a video on YouTube that shows the cephalopod swimming around 2,665 metres deep above its remotely operated vehicle called Little Hercules.
