I don't know what is cuter; watching the Dumbo's or listening to the scientists squeal over the Dumbos

[@KiariLeader123]

2:34 and at that moment, you unleashed a sandy wave of destruction on that pour dumbo's soul.

[@axonthealtered]

[@HetaMania3158]

At 4:50 when the flatfish goes under the dumbo octopus, it looks like it has its eyes open very wide in shock. SO CUTE!

[@ciaramorin6156]

[@AngryKittens]

00:56 He blinked.

[@armydillo1013]

4:55 I wonder if they fold up their tentacles to either protect their head/eyes/organs or maybe (and more likely) they're trying to allow for any prey to go under them and into their mouth to be swallowed.

[@CuriosityRocks]

These scientists are awesome. All the Starfish are so pretty :D

[@adamrothrock5897]

[@kerianhalcyon2769]

So I'm curious, are these recordings done via a rover or is there a crew in a sub? Awesome vids btw, I envy the people who got to see this live.

[@HetaMania3158]

+Halcyon Industries (KerianH) They use ROVs - remotely operated vehicles

[@kerianhalcyon2769]

Unity I did a little digging and found that out later...either way it's pretty cool. Gonna have to see if I can catch one of their streams at some point.

[@Icyangel10]

Napstablook in the sea & with ears

[@BabyAbood123]

How are they talking underwater??

[@Thebongosusetobethicc]

I'm pretty sure they are in a T1-34 Type Submarine.

[@EmmaInCandyland]

So cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!!!!

[@FutureAIDev2015]

Which side of the octo is the front? Toward the siphon or the other way?

[@hyperion1028]

很可爱!!!

[@armydillo1013]

Is it related to the vampire squid?

[@thehantavirus]

nope, vampire squid belongs to vampirotheids, or whatever, its an ancient lineage, they are more like very primivitive , they belong to thier own order, and have similarities to squid and octopuses. They have what are called velar filaments, probably as sensory organs.

[@pianobooks42]
