We all know Japanese culture appreciates some cute things and it's found another one in a sea slug.
The jorunna parva, or adorable bunny slug of the sea, has been making the rounds of Japanese social media and setting a new standard for cuteness in slugs.
We admit, it's not a very high bar.
Just look at them:
Oh, and they are also absolutely tiny, growing to a maximum of 21 millimeters.
As we say, the lovely little things have been crawling their way across the international Twittersphere. Unfortunately, we don't read Japanese, but we can assume these admirers are big fans of the bunny slugs.
