A new species of flapjack octopus, with massive eyes and blood-red tentacles, has been discovered from a deep-sea canyon off the coast of Australia.

The new species has been named Opisthoteuthis carnarvonensis, or the Carnarvon flapjack octopus, for the location in which it was found.

It's the tenth and latest new species to be described from specimens collected during a 2022 voyage by research vessel (RV) Investigator led by CSIRO, Australia's national science agency.
