22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Galápagos Octopus
I found this Octopus Oculifer (aka Galápagos Octopus) while diving off Socorro in the Revillagigedo Islands. The octopus was hunting prey between large boulders, but quickly camouflaged itself once it noticed my presence.
