Aww, jeez. Now that's a pretty little thing.

What an amazing creature with quite the repertoire of disguises!

Now that's what I call cute.

I think it looks scary; the article said it was 1.5 meters across. Make it twice that and I'd be nothin' but a trail of bubbles...

That's amazing!

Now that is one fantabulous picture! And critter!

Probably the best shot of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year. (Or at least the one PZ would like the most...)
