"Would you just look at him? Sprung to life out of a Pixar movie, the
ghostly little fella pictured above was discovered last month by Deep
Discoverer, the deep-diving robot that travels with NOAA’s Okeanos
Explorer. Spotted 4,290 meters beneath the surface, it’s the deepest
observation of a so-called incirrate octopus ever, and it might be a new
species."
