Dumbo Octopus [Grimpoteuthis bathynectes]
Description
Named for its ear-like fins, the Dumbo Octopus is typically found in the deep sea. This species is known for its umbrella-shaped bell and long, thin arms. Unlike most octopuses, it does not have an ink sac because it rarely encounters predators in its deep-sea habitat.
