From The Depths Of The Sea Came This Big-Eyed Pink Octopus, Looking So Cute They Named It Adorabilis
A tiny pink octopus with huge eyes is making a big splash, and its nickname is almost as charming as its looks. Scientists who came across the deep-sea creature thought it was cute enough to deserve a name that matched its personality.
The animal, found far below the ocean surface, has been referred to as the flapjack octopus, but the proposed name Adorabilis has stuck because it fits so well. The discovery has drawn attention not just for the species itself, but for the way it instantly won people over.
Now the little octopus is getting the kind of attention most sea creatures never see, and the name debate is part of the fun.
You only have to look at this cute little thing to see it is the most adorable octopus in the world
The little pink species is now referred to as the flapjack octopus, but researcher Stephanie Bush at the Monterey Bay Institute wants it to be named Opisthotheusis Adorabilis.
As soon as photos of the newly discovered octopus emerged online, people immediately fell in love with it
Bush is not the only one who finds the tiny creature adorable; several of her coworkers agree with her. People fell in love with the newly discovered octopus as soon as pictures of it started to circulate online, and many of them shared the same opinions about its name as the researchers who discovered it.
With its large puppy eyes, its bright color, and its little wing-like fins on the head, Adorabilis looks straight out of a fairytale
Adorabilis has a fairytale-like appearance with its big puppy eyes, vivid color, and tiny wing-like fins on its head. I have no doubt that it will soon be a charming cartoon character!
Stephanie Bush stated that she figured since this animal is so cute, she should name it Adorabilis.
"I’m supposed to be this really serious, stoic scientist, but I’m still human. It’s just so cute."
And if you think pink octopus cuteness is rare, a colossal squid sighting filmed for the first time in 100 years is mind-blowing.
That name choice is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here.
With a tiny body that can grow up to 7 inches in diameter, the cute octopus is not larger than a man’s fist
One of the simplest parts is giving it a name. "We have to collect multiple specimens.
Another detail makes the whole thing even more surprising.
Tell me, isn't this the cutest octopus ever?
The adorable octopus has a tiny body that can expand to a diameter of up to 7 inches, making it no bigger than a man’s fist.
So tell us, what could be more fitting than Adorabilis?
It is hard to argue with that nickname.
Wait until you see divers filming a giant squid near Japan with eyes that look dangerously huge.
