The Dumbo octopus gets its name
from Disney’s famous large-eared
flying elephant. And it‘s no wonder!
This octopus has adorable “ear
flaps” that help it steer as it jets
across the ocean floor – where it
spends most of its time. Dumbos
come in all sor ts of colours. They’d
fit right in with a group of colour ful
Pokemon characters!This little foxy creature
looks as if it’s just gone for
a paddle in some calligraphy
paint! The racoon dog is a keen
tree climber. It is omnivorous,
with a diet that consists of small
animals – including frogs and
birds – and berries and nuts. They
make a whining sound when they
communicate, and growl when they
fight. While the species is doing quite
well, their fur is in demand, which is
slowly causing their numbers to fall.D U M B O O C T O P U S
