This unusual cephalopod is the flapjack octopus! It derived its name from its flattened appearance...and is among the most anatomically compressed creatures in the world. Even though this deep sea species is rarely observed, living in great depths of the coasts of Japan and California, you might think it looks familiar because the character Pearl in the animated film Finding Nemo was inspired by it!
