@mbari_news: This graceful glider is the Grimpoteuthis octopus. 🐙⁠ ⁠ These deep-sea octopuses use the movement of their large fins and arms to propel themselves through the water. They are affectionately called the "dumbo" octopuses because of those flapping fins. This group of octopuses is typically found on or near the deep seafloor, where they use finger-like cirri on their arms to catch small crustaceans, worms, and other prey items. ⠀#dumbooctopus #deepsea #deepocean #oceanlife #ocean #octopus #fyp
