A new species was discovered and it looks like a spooky ghost emoji.
NBC News reports:
But what makes this creature unusual is that it had suckers in one, rather than two, series on each tentacle. Its color is also very distinctive: Unlike most cephalopods, it lacks pigment cells.
“This resulted in a ghostlike appearance, leading to a comment on social media that it should be called Casper, like the friendly cartoon ghost,” NOAA said.
Okay, I will! Consider this the place to share your favorite cephalopod fun facts and gifs.
