Sea Creature of the Week

"The Sea Creature of the Week" 

The Dumbo Octopus
Grimpoteuthis




Honestly, I can't decided if this animal is weird looking or cute! :-) I know that sounds crazy...but look at it! It can easily be the cutest thing you've ever seen, but then again.....it could be the weirdest thing you've ever seen! :-) The dumbo octopus is a deep sea animal that lives on the ocean floor. It resides at depths of 9,800 to 13,000 feet deep!!! These small animals have a pair of fins located on their heads and webbing between their arms. When swimming, dumbo octopuses (yes, this is the plural of octopus) hover above the sea floor looking for worms, snails, and other food. Take a look at these cute...well funny-looking....ok, ok, cute creatures!!! :-)
