Blanket Octopus Facts
The dazzling blanket octopus is a rare sight indeed! This pelagic species lives in the open sea, and facts are few & far between. In 2002, the first live male was discovered. We now know that this species has one of the largest gender size discrepancies (sexual size dimorphism) in the animal kingdom. Females grow up to 6.5 ft (2 meters), and the males only grow an estimated 2.4 cm long!! Even more mind boggling - the male blanket octopus weighs 40,000 times less than the female. 😮 Incredible fo

Marine biologist Jacinta Shackleton has filmed an encounter with an extremely rare 'rainbow-like' blanket octopus on the Great Barrier Reef. Her screams of delight can be heard even underwater and through her diving mask. Shackleton said that the blanket octopus generally spends its lifecycle in the open ocean so it’s even more unusual to see one on the reef. "Seeing one in real life is indescribable, I was so captivated by its movements, it was as if it was dancing through the water with a flow

Breath: taken away 🥵 Can you name a more fascinating creature than the octopus? Not only are they selfless parents capable of sacrifice for their young, their intelligence and decision-making abilities continue to be studied by scientists globally. Visually captivating and able to change colours, textures and shape with a few micro movements, a run-in with an octopus is truly special. They're curious but often timid around divers and snorkellers. Remember to view octopus from a safe distance an

Incoming Octopus. Check out this big, beautiful Day Octopus filmed at the latest Master Reef Guide training school at @heronisland. Usually Octopus are quite shy and hide or camouflage between the cracks and crevices of the Reef, but not this one. This Octopus was very inquisitive of our cameraman and got extremely close. Wildlife encounters on the Great Barrier Reef are never guaranteed—and that’s exactly what makes them so unforgettable 🐙 🎥 @gbrmarinepark #octopus #lovethereef #wildlife | Ma
