近日，美国海洋研究团队在夏威夷附近水域发现了一只俗称“小猪鱿鱼”（piglet squid）的罕见生物。
“小猪鱿鱼”学名是Helicocranchia pfefferi，属于章鱼科（octopodidae）；它看起来半透明，身形小且圆胖，脸部有像猪鼻子的虹吸管（siphon），触须长在头上，还有一双黑亮的大眼，看起来像猪又像鹿。

An adorable piglet squid has been spotted in its natural home deep in the Pacific Ocean by a team of passing researchers.
The inquisitive animal was snapped on camera by the E/V Nautilus team exploring the Palmyra Atoll earlier this month.

They spotted the creature at 4,500ft (1,385m) and paused to enjoy the moment with the small marine animal.
The Nautilus team, from non-profit organisation Ocean Exploration Trust, used an ROV (Remotely operated underwater vehicle) to enjoy the quick close-up.

WHAT ARE PIGLET SQUIDS?
The see-through piglet squid (Helicocranchia sp.) is named for its large siphon that looks like a snout.
They regulate buoyancy with an ammonia-filled internal chamber, （通过装满氨气的内腔调节浮力）
Like all squids it moves around using the siphon to jettison water.
The average size of adult is around 4 inches (100 mm).
The body consists of a large funnel with small paddle-like fins.
They have small tentacles above their eyes.

The researchers explained: ‘[The animals are] able to regulate buoyancy with an ammonia-filled internal chamber, this stunning squid is often observed with its tentacles flared above its head.’
The chance encounter occurred at the remote coral atoll located 1,000 miles south of Hawaii.
‘Able to regulate buoyancy with an ammonia-filled internal chamber, this stunning squid is often observed with its tentacles flared above its head like a wild hairdo or as one team member called it – reindeer antlers.’
