Named after the famous Disney characterBut then, like a ghost, something reveals itself from behind the shadows.
They were on a 27-day expedition off the coast of Hawaii to learn more about the geology and biology in unseen parts of the ocean when they spotted the octopus.These soft-bodied creatures are the deepest-living octopuses on Earth, so spotting one is super rare. While the ROV plunged deep into the ocean, scientists remained at the surface, aboard the E/V Nautilus.These deep sea vehicles are outfitted with special equipment, including cameras, lights and water sampling instruments.Since Dumbo octopuses live in the lightless depths of the ocean, they have very few interactions with humans or predators, and are rarely seen.
