Here is the cutest squid you probably will ever see–”Smiling” Piglet Squid [wikipedia]. Due to its unusual pattern of skin pigmentation and rotund shape, the cute small squid now collected at California’s Cabrillo Marine Aquarium looks like a fatty cartoon piglet which sports a “smile” on his face. According to Xinhua, this “happiful” “fatty” squid, scientific name Helicocranchia Pfefferi, was captured in the waters of Pacific Ocean between Los Angels and Catalina Island [wiki].
