Гримпотевтис- глубоководный осминог Дамбо.

Осьминог Дамбо или Гримпотевтис (лат. Grimpoteuthis)– это мягкотелое глубоководное животное, которое получило свое название благодаря двум плавникам, расположенным на мантии, которые напоминают слоновьи уши. Известно, что в природе существует порядка 37 всевозможных разновидностей осьминогов Дамбо, классифицированные на 4 семейства. Обычно в зрелом возрасте эти осьминоги достигают в длину 20 см, однако самый большой когда-либо зарегистрированный представитель этого рода был в длину около 180 см и весил около 6 кг. Гримпотевтис обычно обитает на глубине от 100 до 5.000 метров, хотя некоторые виды были обнаружены на глубине 7.000 метров.

По сравнению с другими моллюсками, осьминог Дамбо предпочитает заглатывать пойманную добычу целиком. Разновидности Гримпотевтиса, обитающие на дне, питаются, в основном, ракообразными, червеобразными животными и двустворчатыми моллюсками. Уникальны Дамбо ещё и тем, что из-за специфики среды обитания лишены способности изменять окраску. Их пигментные клетки имеют весьма примитивное строение, оттенки Дамбо варьируются от фиолетовых и пурпурных, до бордовых и шоколадных. А ещё у Гримпотевтисов нет чернильного мешка, зато они умеют становиться совершенно прозрачными.

The Dumbo octopus or Grimpoteuthis is a soft-bodied deep-sea animal that gets its name from its two fins located on the mantle, which resemble elephant ears. It is known that in nature there are about 37 different varieties of Dumbo octopuses, classified into 4 families. Typically, these octopuses reach a length of 20 cm at maturity, but the largest representative of this genus ever recorded was about 180 cm long and weighed about 6 kg. Grimpothevis usually lives at depths between 100 and 5,000 meters, although some species have been found at depths of 7,000 meters.

Compared to other mollusks, the Dumbo octopus prefers to swallow its caught prey whole. Bottom-dwelling species of Grimpothevis feed primarily on crustaceans, worm-like animals and bivalves. Dumbo is also unique in that, due to the specifics of its habitat, it lacks the ability to change color. Their pigment cells have a very primitive structure; Dumbo's shades range from violet and purple to burgundy and chocolate. Grimpoteuthis also does not have an ink sac, but they can become completely transparent.

Meet the Dumbo Octopus or Grimpoteuthis, known as the deepest living of all octopus species. They live on the seafloor or hover just slightly above it at depths of depths of 3000 to 4000 m (9800 to 13000 ft).

There are about 17 species of Dumbo octopus that belong to a group called “umbrella octopus,” because they are able to float with an umbrella-like look.

They even come in pink, and got their name b/c they resemble the Disney character, Dumbo.

Cephalopod lovers, have you ever heard of the Dumbo octopus? 🐙 Members of the genus Grimpoteuthis, these critters are the deepest-living octopus known to science and can be found near the seafloor at depths of up to 13,000 ft (4,000 m). These adorable cephalopods flap their ear-like fins as they move through the water—a behavior that inspired scientists to name the genus Grimpoteuthis after Disney’s flying elephant. Unlike many other octopuses, Dumbo octopuses do not have ink sacs. Some scientists think it’s because they rarely encounter predators in their extremely remote, deep-sea habitats.

just professing my love to the broad category of cephalopods, with octopuses and specifically blanket/dumbo octopuses under there getting extra love. thanks for being at my core, something that is more recognizable as "me" than any name i've been called.

also thank you blue ringed octopus for having tetrodotoxin in your body. if i were to die from it, that would be my best way to go out. not that i plan on it but DAMN thats a cool neurotoxin. also found in a bunch of other things like some pufferfish!

happy valentines day to the entire order Cephalopoda. and to Grimpoteuthis, who got me here and started this journey. xxxx

(i literally named myself bc it sounded kinda like octopus. this isnt even an exaggeration. im so normal about them)

Oh to be a Dumbo Octopus without a care 🐙

The dumbo octopus (Grimpoteuthis) is a deep sea animal that lives on the ocean floor at extreme depths of 9,800 to 13,000 feet.

Females usually find a mate around their second birthday and take a seamen packet from the male so they can fertilize their eggs on the go when they please. They can even get pregnant while being pregnant, they’re basically always pregnant.

Love to sea it 🌊

Cepho fact #08

There are 2 main divisions of octopi; Cirrate octopus have 2 fins on their heads and have small hair like strands on their single row of suckers called cirri, Cirrate octopus also lack ink sacks and are deep sea dwelling.

You can see the fins on this dumbo octopus (Grimpoteuthis)

Incirrate octopus are the "stereotypical" octopus, they lack cirri on their suckers, and lack the fins on their head, but have ink sacks.

And you can see the lack of head fins on this Blue ringed octopus (Hapalochlaena)

Favorite octopus?

I'm a big fan of Grimpoteuthis, they're so adorable with the little flaps and they have an internal shell.
