What is a jumbo octopus?
I couldn't find a Wikipedia article that used the term. Here is where I saw the term.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  18:52, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * You misread the cartoon lettering. The term is "Dumbo octopus" and the article is Grimpoteuthis. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  18:58, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. There's something wrong and the letters are hard to read.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  19:22, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Finally had to resort to CTRL+. I don't know what the problem is today.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  20:21, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

 * And Dumbo was inspired semi-indirectly by the famous elephant Jumbo. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 19:03, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Similarly, the dumbo rat is a fancy rat variety whose ears are larger and lower on its head than is usual, which to some people resembles Dumbo the elephant's ears. CodeTalker (talk) 19:46, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
