Japanese Pygmy Seahorse
The Japanese pygmy seahorse is the size of a grain of rice — about 1.6 cm long (0.6 in) — among the smallest seahorses in the world. It wasn't formally named until 2018, whereupon it received the specific title of "japapigu" or "Japan pig", because locals think it resembles a baby pig.
