Few Facts About Their Food

Few Facts About Their Food

Isopods

This specie of isopod is called the Cirolanidae. The Cirolanidae is one of the biggest crustaceans.

Copepods

The copepods are known as the key-stone animals to the food web. They eat diatoms and other plankton and get eaten by larger drifters, larval fishes and filter feeders.

The average size of a copepod is 0.5-2mm. The largest species, Pennella balaenopterae, which is parasitic on the fin whale, grows to a length of 32 cm.

Features

Dumbo octopuses have a sort of translucent body. They have a U shaped mantle that gives them a little bit of a shape. They have big ears, sometimes they are blue and sometimes they are different colours. A few types of the octopuses have webbed tentacles as well as suckers. They also don't have a ink sack which means they can't produce ink

Size

Dumbo octopuses are usually very small of about 8 centimeters, but there has been few aboue the average. The largest ever recorded was 6 feet (1.8288m) and 13 pounds (453.592g).

How do they protect themselves?

These creatures swim by flapping their "ears", or propelling water through their funnel, somewhat like a squid. These guys evade predators both through their small size and ability to hide away, as well as their speed. Dumbo octopi are surprisingly fast thanks to their funnel and large wing-like extremities.

Reproduction

Female octopuses lay eggs all year and anywhere, but they only mate with 1 male. They don't tend to live together though. Adult Dumbo octopuses do not care for there young. The average lifespan is 3-5 years.

Predators

Dumbo octopuses get hunted mainly by orcas and sharks. They are also a target from bigger fish due to their size.

Is it octopuses or octopi?
