what does it eat??

[satircon]

this isnt dumbo octopus

[Thek213]

Yes, it is. They're only called "dumbo octopi" because of those ear-like flaps, which remind some of the Dumbo character from the Disney movie.

[satircon]

I tought that dumbo octopus is lil' red round looking thing with flappy "ears"

not big(not really big just biger than red dumbo o.) white octopus with flappy ears 8-|

[Paramore13ch]

@hstaudig It could be a vampire squid, but I couldn't see enough to really tell.

[applecore1231]

@Paramore13ch but vampire squid live in the deep deep part of the ocean and only comes up once a year
