10. Dumbo Octopus
Everybody loves Dumbo. That silly, floppy elephant with his horrifying mutation that would either get him killed at birth or turned into some kind of stud elephant to breed a race of flying elephants. We’ve seen him fly, now we get to see him swim!
The Dumbo Octopus is a group of octopi that live 3-4,000 meters below the ocean, the deepest of any (known) octopus. The largest recorded was almost 6 feet in length. They come in a variety of colors and ear sizes. It’s an umbrella octopus, and has been found off the coast of Oregon, New Zealand and New Guinea. We still don’t know a lot about them, since they live so deep in the ocean.
