Top-7 Interesting Dumbo Octopus Facts

Male and female octopuses in this genus look about the same

The size of these types of octopuses differs quite a bit among species. While there are species that only have a length of 5 centimeters, there are also much larger species that reach a length of up to 37 centimeters. While many types of octopuses feature noticeable sexual dimorphism, this is not the case with dumbo octopuses. Male and females are generally similar in size. The only noticeable difference between males and females has been found in both the Grimpoteuthis bathynectes and the Grimpoteuthis discovery in which males have larger suckers on the tentacles.
