@dailydosagewildlife: The Ocean's Veil: Blanket Octopus The female Blanket Octopus is a creature of the open ocean that rarely encounters the seafloor. To appear larger to predators, she unfurls a spectacular, cape-like membrane connecting her dorsal arms. This footage captures the ethereal, almost non-physical quality of this webbing, showing the complex hydrodynamics as the iridescent tissue flows and ripples in the currents of the deep sea. #nature #naturelover #animals #animallover #xyzbca
