New blue octopus species found
Scientists have discovered a new species of octopus known as Microeledone galapagensis in the Galapagos Islands. It is characterized by its blue color and large eyes, and its size ranges from the palm of a hand to the first joint of the middle finger. It was first found by an underwater robot at a depth of approximately 1,773 meters, and was identified as a new species after careful study using computed tomography. It is believed that this species contributes to understanding the biodiversity of the Galapagos Sea and reflects an independent evolutionary development from a close relative in New Caledonia, with a name that describes its distinctive features and unique characteristics.
