      I’ve never seen one (they’re incredibly rare) but it has to be…. a Dumbo Octopus!

      I first heard about them when I watched “Blue Planet” – you can see some videos by David Attenborough here (www.bbc.co.uk/nature/life/Grimpoteuthis).

      They’re pretty unique, because they often don’t have any teeth so they have to swallow their prey whole… eek!
