Meet the sea pig. It’s a little different from the land pig. Actually, other than it’s plump appearance, it has no resemblance.

The sea pig rules the dark and mysterious depths of the sea. They’re typically found at depths of 1000m on the sea floor of the Indian and Pacific Ocean. A type of sea cucumber, they have several large “legs” or tube feet, which are really noodly appendages.

The sea pig has the ability to inflate and deflate the appendages using water cavities within its skin.
