These Furry Sea Slugs Are Stealing Hearts In Internet Right Now

 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.
