Nautilus spotted the octopus this week with an underwater camera during an exploration of the Davidson Seamount in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary off the coast of California.

The creatures get their nickname from a pair of rounded fins that resemble the ears on Disney's famous flying elephant. The dumbo octopus is a rare sight. Scientists shared the first ever video of a hatchling earlier this year.
