A ghostly octopus is seen recently in deep waters off the California coast.
Researchers when discovering Davidson Seamount , a volcano that stopped working at the National Reserve of Monterey Bay, California on October 23, discovered a very rare white Dumbo octopus.
This octopus is about 60cm long.
With a peculiar head and small fins moving in the deep sea, the Dumbo octopus looks like a flying elephant Dumbo famous in Walt Disney's animated film of the same name.
The research ship members E / V Nautilus stumbled upon this white octopus using the ROV remote to observe the unexplored 'oasis' area in the southeastern Davidson Seamount, where There are many corals and sponges.
The team estimates the octopus is about 60cm long. The reason Dumbo octopus is extremely rare because they often live in depths can reach 7,000m under the sea. Seeing it at a depth of about 3,000m has surprised researchers.
Dumbo octopus (scientific name: Grimpoteuthis) is an animal that often lives in very deep waters in the seabed. With living at a depth of 7,000m below sea level, this is the deepest water animal ever discovered. It is the environmental conditions that are completely lacking in light together with the extreme pressure of water that causes this octopus to change its shape in a strange way.
