Dumbo is a fictional character, a baby elephant who grows his ears by a sneeze and discovers that he can use them as wings to fly. It first appears in the children's book Dumbo, the Flying Elephant ("Dumbo, the Flying Elephant", 1939) by American Helen Aberson-Mayer, but became more popular when it was made into a film by Walt Disney in 1941, with a remake in 2019. In the account, his mother named him Jumbo Jr. , but the other elephants called him Dumbo, after an English pun on dumb ("fool"). 2º_ It is also the name of a neighborhood in New York City (USA) that comes from the acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, precisely the place where it is located. 3º_ It is a common name for the octopus Grimpoteuthis, which has two fins similar to ears like those of the elephant in the story and the movie.
