Three little words you love to hear during a livestream of a RV dive to the seafloor: "It's a dumbo!"

E/V Nautilus researchers spotted three dumbo octopuses (named for their big fins, which resemble Dumbo ears) during a recent dive near Johnston Atoll. There was a big one, a sassy one, and one with "beautiful flap-flaps."

Truly, the best thing about these videos is hearing the scientists squee with joy about what they see. 🦑
