Look! It’s a dumbo octopus! There are some very good shots of this weird creature swimming near the middle.
Everyone knows you’re supposed to be reading Deep Sea News today for all things cephalopodial, right?

Since there’s more to the world than Cephalopodmas, here are some refuges if you get tired of my giddy squiddiness.
Talk among yourselves about uncephalopodian matters, as well.
Well, if we can’t find the new Architeuthis video, we can at least enjoy a little Cephalopodmas carol, Squid and Whale.
If you’d like something more traditional, here are the lyrics for the Twelve Days of Cephalopodmas. You already know the music.
Lastly, should you really want to get into the festive spirit of the holiday, here are some photos of a whale necropsy. Warning: there is blood, there are guts. How much? Well, they used a large backhoe as a retractor.
We have a sign: there are reports
of a new video from Tsunemi Kubodera of an Architeuthis—unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find a copy of the video online anywhere yet. If anyone finds it, let me know!
There’s a small and rather grainy copy of the video on the BBC website!
The copy at CNN is of much higher quality.
Don’t try and tell me this is a fake holiday. Macy’s in New York is celebrating it! That’s the gold standard, man.
Watch out, Kwanzaa.
