Sea slugs aren’t exactly creatures you’d consider to be adorable, but Japan’s Twittersphere has just rediscovered what is probably the cutest sea slug ever – Jorunna parva, a sea slug that looks like a fluffy bunny.
This tiny sea slug’s bunny ears are actually rhinophores, or chemosensory scent/taste organs that help them detect chemicals in the water and make their way across the ocean floor. They can be found from the Indian Ocean to the Philippines to Japan, where photos of them have become popular.

Idiots wanting them as pets already. No doubt we will be soon seeing them in eastern dishes and trapped in key chains. Admire beauty from a distance but leave them alone..
Look, it's people's opinions of what they like, IF they have pets, let them. PLUS they can't be consumed Very toxic IF eaten, so quit hating on their opinions on things
Steve your absolutely correct, look but don't touch. It's bad enough they kill over 10,000 sharks a day, for soup. Patrick Hagerty
Sea slugs are incredibly colorful and beautiful, but this is the first time I see they can be cute!
Never did I think I would use the words "cute" and "slug" in the same sentence, but these are damn cute slugs!!!!!
Shut the f**k up Steve you racist slimebag and for the love of f**k get your western sense of moral superiority out of everyone's faces. "Western" folk do so much worse s**t to animals they "love", animal farming, deportation of exotic animals, downright abuse, but that's never brought up as a western flaw, only as weird wanderings of a few marginals. This might be hard for your racist brain mush to understand, but reducing "Eastern" people to their wrongdoings bc you never bothered to acknowledge them as a complex ethnicity made up of diverse individuals is really f*****g disgusting and racist, not to mention unfair. Also, i bet you think your hair is sooo edgy and trendy, when its really ugly as f**k. I hope you get s**t on by pigeons every f*****g day.
Hey Yuki Minaj, have you dirty, stinking, backstabbing, Japs served this slug bunny up raw yet? You can put it in its own vending machine, next to the one that sells used teenaged girls panties. (No joke, used panty vending machines really exist in Japan. What a filthy culture.)
Where do you get these adorable sea sheep and sea bunnies from i want one desperately
And people like you are the reason many animals get smuggled, bred, and mistreated. If you love animals and critters, appreciate them from a distance, in their natural habitat.
