Dumbo Octopus?

Dumbo Octopus

I had never heard of a Dumbo octopus until this morning when I read the above pages of Thomas Keneally's new book 'Two Old Men Dying'.
After I finished reading Tom's book I did a net search on "Dumbo octopus" and watched this film at the National Geographic site -
Mesmerizing, rare dumbo octopus filmed in the deep sea

I had only just written a post about Dumbo synchs the day before -

Cuddles the elephant in Dubbo?

The new Tim Burton version of Dumbo will hit cinema screens at the end of March, so it will be running through April, the month tipped to see the arrival of the new royal.

Umbrellas out in Dubbo for the royal arrival?

"Grimpoteuthis is a genus of pelagic umbrella octopuses known as the dumbo octopuses.

The name "dumbo" originates from their resemblance to the title character of Disney's 1941 film Dumbo, having a prominent ear-like fin which extends from the mantle above each eye.

There are 13 species recognized in the genus."
