🐙 Daily Cephalopod Fact: 🐙

Flapjack Octopus: *Not to be confused with the Dumbo Octopus* Their maximum size is 7.9 inches in length. They have eight arms (like any other octopus), but these are affixed together in an umbrella shape. However unlike other octopus, they are unable to camouflage by changing skin color and texture. They have a gelatinous body, which spreads into a parachute shape when maneuvering through dimly lit water. They swim by moving their fins, pulsing their webbed arms, pushing water through their funnel for jet propulsion, or all three at once.

Meet the…

FLAPJACK OCTOPUS!!

Also known as Opisthoteuthis californiana or adorabilis, the flapjack octopus is a species of umbrella octopus!

Named after how they squish down into a pancake like way on the sea floor, they cannot camouflage themselves because of their brightly colored bodies! (oh no:()

They grow to be around 20 inches, their diet is composed of small worms, crustaceans, and other invertebrates, and they live deep under the water on the muddy sea floor!

Their predators are sperm whales, sharks, and seals, however if they are in danger, they will just swim away.

Bought a new sketchbook!

I have art this semester and needed to warm-up, because I do a lot more digital art these days.

Definitely wasn't an excuse for me to info dump on my favourite silly creatures
