Stretched between the cephalopod’s elongated arms are vast sheets of flesh, it splays out its arms, whenever the octopus feels threatened. The sight is so endearing that it may even convince an encroaching predator to leave it unhurt. Such a spectacular sight was shared on social media. It is a female blanket octopus that has stunned the internet with her rainbow-coloured wings, as she swims in the ocean waters. The viral video capturing the beautiful moment will leave you mesmerised. Is Octopus An Alien Creature? Know The Truth About The Most Weird Species on the Planet.

Blanket octopuses are some of the undersea world’s oddest creatures. The most startling is the size difference between males and females. While a male blanket octopus is about less than an inch long, females can reach a whopping six feet long. They can also weigh up to 40,000 times more than their male counterparts. The creatures are believed to be difficult to encounter in the wild and to film. Pretty impressive!
