@mbari_news: Like and share immediately if you’d protect this little floofcake at all costs 🥹🥰 MBARI’s robotic submersibles often spot flapjack octopus resting on the mud, their orange bodies resembling a flat, fluffy pancake. When startled by a predator, flapjack octopus perk up and swim to safety by flapping their stubby fins, pulsing their webbed arms, pushing water through their funnel for jet propulsion—or all three at once. When the coast is clear, they stretch their webbed arms and parachute back to the seafloor. #ocean #deepsea #DeepOcean #oceanlife #yesitsreal
