Quirky creatures of the deep

"An octopus with ears like an elephant? Scallops that hang like bats? Yup, they're real and they live off the East Coast." begins the artical published by CBC News. A discovery of exciting, previously unknown species off Canada's east coast includes an octopus with fins near its eyes, "single-cell organism about the size of a grapefruit", "yellow and pink bubblegum-coloured coral" and "orange scallops hanging from underwater cliffs" among other things.
