your daily (dumbo) octopus

[thecolorblue]

the dumbo octopus is a rare member of the octo family. living near the bottom of the sea floor -- some have been sighted at 7000m! -- these guys are rarely seen. they all have flippers on their "ears" -- hence the disney-elephant name. some grow up to 20cm. they're little! and super weird looking.
