Why does this creature here have a face? Because it's a Piglet Squid, of course! That cute little smile is really a line of freckle-like spots and those "beautiful" lochs of hair are really tentacles. This cute little guy, who's actually the size of a Dill pickle, lives deep in the ocean where the word "light" is not in the dictionary. When it feels threatened, our little friend sucks up water through his snout so that it blows up like a water balloon (now the size of an apple). If that's not enough, it will spit out all the water so that it shoots back away from danger. Okay, it's not that scary but hey- it's a start!
