The Dumbo Octopus

An animal I found very interesting was the Dumbo octopus. There name is the same as the Disney character because of their similarities and their scientific name is Grimpotheuthis. Dumbos live very deep down in the ocean. They can be found at depths from 400 meters and can go down as deep as 4,800 meters. Something I found very interesting about this beautiful creature was that they float a short distance above the ocean floor while they look for their prey.
