After his mother is taken away, Dumbo is seen standing on his own, swaying sadly from side to side. This is actually an accurate depiction of what elephants do when they are emotionally distraught. x

Happy 83rd Anniversary, Dumbo

Today is the 83rd Anniversary of Disney's Dumbo. It had been 83 years since we've seen Dumbo the Flying Elephant become the star of the show in the circus.

He was a baby elephant who lives with the circus. His ears were so big everyone teased him, but one day, he used them to fly, which is what made him so special.

DUMBO?!

Theory: Dumbo is half African elephant. Doesn't explain the flight but explains the ears. The other elephants are all Indian.

Dumbo the Flying Elephant Vacationland, Fall 1965

I know they were very mean to that elephant but, objectively, “Dumbo” is a very weak insult. Especially when the creatures intelligence is hardly the funniest thing about him.

Cephalopod lovers, have you ever heard of the Dumbo octopus? 🐙 Members of the genus Grimpoteuthis, these critters are the deepest-living octopus known to science and can be found near the seafloor at depths of up to 13,000 ft (4,000 m). These adorable cephalopods flap their ear-like fins as they move through the water—a behavior that inspired scientists to name the genus Grimpoteuthis after Disney’s flying elephant. Unlike many other octopuses, Dumbo octopuses do not have ink sacs. Some scientists think it’s because they rarely encounter predators in their extremely remote, deep-sea habitats.
