Scientists have captured incredible, rare footage of a Dumbo octopus swimming off the coast of California.

Nicknamed for its oversize ear-like fins, the creatures normally swim far too deep for easy viewing. Among the deepest known octopuses, they normally swim around the seafloor at depths from 9,300 ft to 23,000 ft below the surface.
