In the depths of the North Pacific Ocean, a remarkable discovery was made as a rare species of fish known as the 'Dumbo Octopus' came into view and was captured by the lens of a camera.
This unique encounter occurred while divers were exploring the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean at an astonishing depth of 7,000 meters, on a mission to uncover new marine life.
The 'Dumbo Octopus' appeared suddenly before the divers, sporting a distinctive appearance with a lower body resembling an octopus and a striking white color, as showcased in the video footage.
Sky News shared the captivating video of the 'Dumbo Octopus' gracefully swimming, leaving one of the divers awestruck, saying, "I've never seen anything like it before."
Marine life experts, who dedicate their research to understanding the mysteries of oceanic creatures, reveal that this rare fish species has been previously observed only in the deep waters of California, Australia, and New Zealand.
The fish can grow up to 60 cm in length.
Notably, the fish's appearance bears a striking resemblance to a beloved cartoon character created by Disney—a combination of an elephant-like shape and an octopus-like torso.
This unique species, named after Disney's beloved character 'Dumbo,' the flying elephant, has garnered attention for its extraordinary size and its charming connection to Disney's animated world.
