A tenti-cool discovery. 🐙 Meet Opisthoteuthis carnarvonensis, also known as the Carnarvon Flapjack Octopus. It was discovered in 2022 during an #RVInvestigator biodiversity survey voyage off the coast of Western Australia. Here’s what we know about ‘flapjack’: 💠 Grows to just 4 centimetres wide – tiny but fascinating. 💠 Sports blood-red tentacles and large eyes, perfect for spotting prey in the deep, dark ocean. 💠 Can flatten itself into the shape of a flapjack – hence the name. 💠 Can also inflate like a tiny umbrella. 📸 | Cindy Bessey (fb)
