Deep sea explorers spotted a rare dumbo octopus in the North Pacific Ocean on September 13. during a deep sea expedition in the North Pacific Ocean.
The scientists noticed the rare sea creature on Sept. 13 while exploring the ocean floor at a depth of about 1,680 meters on an unnamed seamount in the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument – which is northwest of Hawaii. During a live broadcast, captured by the Ocean Exploration Trust and NOAA, the scientists are heard marveling at the rare sighting as it comes into view. The researchers cite the stark contrast in color between the dark sea and the bright octopus. Dumbo octopus spotted by researchers during deep sea expedition.
The researchers were conducting the expedition to explore unseen deep-sea habitats and were focused on a "largely unexplored northwestern section of the monument." According to the Ocean Exploration Trust , "Dumbo" octopuses are deep sea animals that live on the ocean floor at extreme depths and are typically spotted in the Central Pacific Ocean. They are small animals, about 8 inches tall, and have a pair of fins located on their mantle and webbing between their arms.
