I'm back again! Now you are going to read about an animal called Dumbo Octopus, and it may remembers you to your favourite character from your childhood; DUMBO! That big elefant with those huge ears.

                         DUMBO OCTOPUS

  A Dumbo octopus is a  sea octopus which some of them have been found in the Gulf of Mexico. Due to its ear-like fins, it is known as the dumbo octopus because of its similaritys with a famous movie elephant, as I said before. There are 17 known species of Dumbo octopus that belong to a group called umbrella octopus, 

They are able to float with an umbrella. They are found in deep waters all over the world. They live on the sea floor with depths of up to 13,000 feet , that may be 4000 meters.






      




They have a U or V shaped shell in their mantle which gives them a bell shaped appearance.
Some species are short, squat and yellow, while others resemble a jellyfish with one big brown walking shoe.

These features could be larger ears or different colours. As these animals live at the bottom of the sea they have a very small food supply. Prey include crustaceans, bivalves,etc. 
The average life is 3 to 5 years, it depends on the quality of life.












You can watch at the left side the character I have
mentioned before.
