What is the octopus dumbo?

dumbo Octopus is a type of octopus that lives in some of the deepest parts of the sea, and therefore people do not normally see it. Some of these octopuses live up to 4 miles (7000 m) below the surface of the ocean. Dumbo Octopus is an orange to silver color and has large fins on each side that some people believe they look very much like an elephant ears. The ears of this type of octopus are the reason why scientists have begun to refer to it as a Dumbo octopus, a reference to the cartoon character of an elephant with the same name, known to have very large ears. This octopus also has eight weapons and weapons are connected through a strap, which could help swimming. Most of these octopuses do not exceed 8 inches (20 cm). Scientists have observed that Dumbo octopus usually spends most of the time hovering along the Dnaocean DNA looking for food. This type of octopus tends to eat small sea creatures such as shrimp, crabs and some types of small fish. Another way to be octopusCE Dumbo differs from most other octopuses, it is that it swallows its food rather than biting it.

In the past, scientists have been able to dissect various octopus Dumbo to learn more about them. One thing scientists have discovered is that these octopuses have no specific periods of reproduction. Most types of marine life behave at certain times of the year, but female octopus Dumbo have been found several times at different stages of development with eggs inside them. This probably means that these octopuses behave continuously throughout the year. The female usually puts her eggs in safe places along the bottom of the ocean, such as under the shells or buried under the rocks.

The fact that the octopus Dumbo lives in such a sea of ​​EP's sea that scientists could not learn about them as much as they would like. Scientists are not sure how many of these octopuses exist in the ocean. Despite the fact that about the populationThere is no estimate of these octopuses, scientists don't think they are at risk. It is likely that once more octopus appears, scientists will begin to learn more about them.
