Scientists Discover Species of Adorable Googly-Eyed Fish (WATCH)

 

This sea-dwelling cutie found 3,000 feet under the sea looks like he’s about to go skip school with Nemo.

The tiny purple fish, known as Rossia pacifica, had scientists on the Nautilus Live team in hysterics when they stumbled across his hiding place in Southern Californian waters last week.

“The stubby squid (Rossia pacifica) looks like a cross between an octopus and squid, but is more closely related to cuttlefish,” says the Nautilus team. “This species spends life on the seafloor, activating a sticky mucus jacket and burrowing into the sediment to camouflage, leaving their eyes poking out to spot prey like shrimp and small fish.”
