Dumbo Octopus
The octopuses of the genus Grimpoteuthis are sometimes nicknamed Dumbo octopuses from the ear-like fins protruding from the top of their heads (actually bodies), resembling the ears of Walt Disney's flying elephant. They are benthic creatures, living at extreme depths, and are some of the rarest of the Octopoda species.
