Did you have any idea that baby octopi (octopuses? Octopodes? I’ve actually seen a surprising amount of debate about this) were so goshdarn adorable? The top one even has little anime eyelashes!
National Geographic has a desktop-sized version of this photo, which was taken by Nat Geo reader Simon Chandra, in case you want to see octopups waving at you every time you minimize a window. And who wouldn’t?
