Isn't this Octopus Adorabilis?

What do you call a tiny octopus with big eyes, gelatinous skin and is cute as a button? Nobody knows quite yet! The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute is aiming to classify and name this presently undescribed deep-sea cephalopod using preserved specimens and a clutch of eggs.

I'm satisfied as long as we don't embed parts of its DNA in a dinosaur. Nature is far more intelligent than we like to think.

There was a video on Snotr months ago of one of these being filmed in the wild from an observation submarine. I think the woman in this video was the same woman as in the other, although you only heard her voice. I would call it Cutypus Octolovelyness >:)
