The Dumbo Octopus. Cute isn't it. You would have never guessed that this little thing would be an octopus. It's very rare you see something such as this and relate it to an octopus, but that is what makes it special. The sheer fact that it looks like a cute little blob and it's something people would hardly ever see is quite amazing. It looks like something you'd carry around on your shoulder and it would make little noises. This very interesting creature, and don't let the picture fool you, a grown Dumbo octopus can get as large as 6 feet long. These guys tend to live about 23,000 feet below sea level and weigh up to 13 pounds. And the biggest difference between them and your typical octopus is the way they eat, they swallow their prey whole and just digest it as they move.
