Underwater Photographer Captures A Sighting Of A Clear-Headed Octopus And The Pic Goes Viral
We humans have successfully photographed a black hole, landed rovers on Mars, and sent spacecraft to the dark side of the moon. However, our very own planet remains one of the last unknown frontiers – one that is deceptively familiar, too.
The ocean is the lifeblood of Earth, covering over 70 percent of the planet’s surface, driving weather, regulating temperature, and ultimately supporting life. Throughout history, the ocean has been a vital source of transport, commerce, growth, and inspiration.
But more than 80% of the ocean remains unexplored.
Drawn by this mystery, Taipei-based photographer Wu Yung-sen has been shooting underwater for years.
During a recent dive, underwater photographer Wu Yung-sen has had a rare opportunity of shooting a larval Wunderpus octopus

The incredible images highlight just how delicate this creature is; the baby’s transparent body allows to even see his brain

The Wunderpus is important to not only photographers, but dive tourism and home aquarium trades as well

However, little is known of its life history and behavior, as the species was discovered in the 1980s and only officially described in 2006

Wu Yung-sen’s portfolio has a lot of other cool creatures too
