Spotted by a submersible remote operated vehicle (ROV) launched from the EV Nautilus about 500 nautical miles northwest of Oʻahu, Hawaii, this is a video of a recently discovered Casper octopus. The octopus was found “walking” along the seafloor at a depth of about 2,300m (7,575-feet, ~1.4-miles), with a body
