Flapjacks (Opisthoteuthis californiana) are predators that mainly consume crustaceans (mysids, copepods, and crangonid shrimps) and nightmare creatures called polychaete worms. They have been found flapping their tiny flippers off the coast of California and Japan. While their fins get the most attention for obvious reasons, flapjacks have other cool features, too. Unlike most other octopods (that have two rows of suckers on each arm), finned octopods have only a single row of suckers on each arm. This row of suckers is bordered on each side by a row of finger-like projections, called ‘cirri’. It is these cirri that the octopod reportedly uses to sense prey buried in the mud. (via)
