"It looks like Dumbo the elephant," Kenchington said, showing off some of the more than 3,000 digital images, hundreds of hours of videos and dozens of live samples taken during the research trip.

And they gave us one tiny picture lol. I want an Octophant.

EDIT: Oh, it seems there is a video, my bad.

EDIT2: If you have dialup... don't waste your time with the video... 2 seconds of Hardly any footage of the thingy... like 2 seconds.

Nice, looks like a relative of the vampire sqiuid, who knows what will be discovered next in the vast expanse of the deep.

Very interesting. How big do they grow? Perhaps these creatures are the explanation behind the Crpytid Trunko

All I know is this is just the beginning, they are planning to go further deep, which means creepier creatures, maybe a OctoGiraffe?!
