2. Sarcastic Fringehead (Neoclinus Blanchardi)
It’s a fish with a laaaarge mouth. It’s very territorial, thus very aggressive. When they fight for their territory, they would use their large mouth to intimidate and fight. Yes, the one with the most sarcastic retort wins. (chuckle) But no. Rather they bash themselves mouth to mouth as if in a rough kissing spree and the one with the bigger mouth usually wins. They live in shells or any crevices they can find such as bottles or cans if there’s apparent pollution. Being territorial, when the female lays its eggs, the male protect the eggs as well.
1. Dumbo Octopus (Grimpoteuthis)
I still find this one looks cute because of its ear-like fins. That is where the name Dumbo comes from. The fins are used to steer while swimming and even helps it to crawl along the seafloor during hunting, laying eggs or even just exploring. Another unique feature they have is that their arms forms a skirt-like shape around the animal’s body, classifying them as an umbrella octopus. They live at the bottom of the sea in extreme depths of 3000 to 4000 metres (9800 to 13100 ft) below sea level.
