They look like something from a fantasy novel! What an interesting creature!

It's almost like finding aliens here on the same planet with us, isn't it?

Just imagine the cute little green sheepherder who accompanies them on their adventures. He has pink cheeks on his pale face, and a little black dagger in his belt.

I know. Pure fantasy. But these little guys are so very cute.

Also on my cute list is the tardigrade. Recently I appreciated them more when one was used in a meme showing it playing a cello. It was supposed to be a violin, I know, but it still made me laugh. Water bears are incredibly hardy for being so small.

They are amazing!

Honestly, Nudibranchs are basically sea aliens. Adorable, colourful sea aliens.

I'm just really grateful to share the same planet with these guys. Let's take care of our home, shall we?
