A baby squid I found in Kallithea, Greece

This flapjack octopus is so cute that it might officially be named “adorabilis.” Specimens of this unnamed octopus have been collected since 1990; now Stephanie Bush, a postdoctoral researcher at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in California, said that she is considering the scientific name Opisthoteuthis Adorabilis.

Forget Stubby Squids! Bobtail Squids are like an oceanic Lisa Frank fever dream wrapped up in tentacles!

Cute octopus, Opistoteuthis adorabilis Dr. Stephanie Bush, a researcher at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute(MBARI), is tasked with giving the orange ‘pus it’s official name. Some distinct morphological characteristics - huge eyes; allowing them to see (barely) in the murky darkness, dumbo-like “ears” which they use to swim around, and “well-developed” web between their eight arms, allowing them to “parachute” around the ocean floor.
