Here's the cutest little octopus you'll see today: the smiling Megaleledone setebos octopus found by the Census of Marine Life Project.
National Geographic has more:
"It's quite cute," but the squinting eyes are just skin folds (the real eyes are off to the sides), and the smile is "just sort of color patterns," said biologist Jan Strugnell of the University
of Oxford.

Wouldn't be as cute though if it were enormous like a godzilla sized smiling octopus. Imagine that...

That doesn't even look like a real octopus! It looks like a statue or something. It's really cute though :)

It looks like it should be holding a rattle in one tentacle and a teddy in the other. ;)
