Are dumbo octopus rare

Answer 1

Dumbo octopuses are not considered rare, but they are less commonly observed compared to other octopus species due to their deep-sea habitat, typically found at depths of 3,000 to 4,000 meters. Their elusive nature and the challenges of deep-sea exploration contribute to a limited understanding of their population. While they are relatively widespread in their environment, their visibility and accessibility make them appear rare to researchers and the public.
