00:00You have to admit, it's pretty cute.

00:02This little octopus has been dubbed the Dumbo Octopus because of its adorable ears.

00:08But this creature is actually quite alien-like.

00:12Here's what's creepy about it.

00:14It lives in the deep sea.

00:16And just like Dumbo, it uses its ears to help it swim.

00:21These ears are actually modified appendages called Siri.

00:24They're used for sensing water movement and can be extended and retracted at will.

00:30But the most terrifying thing about this octopus is its beak.

00:34It's not your standard octopus beak.

00:36It's way bigger.

00:38It can open up to three inches, which is enough to fit a whole fist inside.

00:43And it uses that big beak to do one thing, to eat.

00:47This octopus is a predator, but it's not very picky.

00:51It'll eat almost anything that gets too close, including other octopuses.

00:56Now, thankfully, humans haven't found any of these Dumbo Octopuses in our waters yet.

01:07Because of its size, its strength, and its beak, this octopus could easily pose a threat to us.

01:14So, let's see.
