Believe it or not, sunfish are regular sunbathers! Sunfish are exclusively ocean-faring animals, and form part of the epipelagic (upper 200 metres) ecosystem. However, they can easily dive to depths of more than 600 metres into the mesopelagic zone, where waters become darker, pressure increases, and temperatures drop to freezing. To warm up after diving this deep, sunfish bathe in the sun by turning on their sides at the ocean surface. This helps to soak up the sun and regulate their body temperature, allowing them to forage in the colder depths!

Remember the lovable Disney character, Dumbo the elephant, with his iconic oversized ears? Well, meet the real-life aquatic marvels that share his name! Dumbo octopuses gracefully glide through the ocean depths, their fins reminiscent of the beloved elephant's ears. Moving gracefully through the water, Dumbo octopuses employ their ear-like fins for propulsion while using their webbed arms for steering. They primarily prey on pelagic invertebrates that swim above the sea floor, displaying the prowess of foraging predators in their realm. Despite their unique adaptations, Dumbo octopuses are not exempt from predation. Their primary threats come from diving fishes and #marinemammals like tunas, sharks, and dolphins. However, their preference for extreme depths means they are rarely caught in fishing nets, sparing them from significant human impact. Follow us at Terracon Ecotech to explore the enchanting world of these fascinating creatures, where reality truly meets imagination. #DumboOctopus #OceanAdventures #NaturebasedSolutions #FactfulFriday
