Pictures of a quirky octopus discovered by researchers diving at the Galápagos Islands (Ecuador) in 2015 have finally appeared online over 10 years after the expedition, with the species still baffling scientists after all these years.
While the mysterious tentacled creature has been named Microeledone galapagensis, microeledones being small octopuses with a single row of suckers and no ink sac, researchers are still unsure as to how exactly it fits into the octopus family tree and why it was even in Galápagos waters in the first place.
