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. (Photo/VCG)
